About the Role:
Twitch's Enterprise Platform & Technology (EPT) organization is looking for a Software Development Engineer (SDE 2) to architect, build, and operate software systems that power enterprise functions across Twitch and Amazon. This is a hands-on engineering role - you'll write production code, own team-level architecture, and lead multi-engineer projects from design through deployment and operations.
The problems you'll solve don't come with a predefined technology strategy. The business direction is understood - the how is up to you. You'll design and deliver solutions using AWS-native services and AI/agentic patterns, working across domains like Finance, Customer Service, Sales, and Marketing. You'll iterate fast, ship incrementally, and raise the engineering bar for your team through exemplary code, pragmatic design, and mentorship. We need someone who builds, not just advises. You own the architecture and the code.
You Will:
Lead projects requiring work from multiple engineers - owning end-to-end design, integration of parallel work, and delivery across the full software lifecycle (design, implementation, testing, deployment, operations)
Own team-level architecture for enterprise systems, providing system-wide design guidance and ensuring solutions are cohesive, extensible, and secure
Build and operate production applications on AWS-native services (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, Bedrock, S3, CDK, API Gateway, etc.)
Design and deliver AI-powered and agentic workflows that ship to production - automating business processes, reducing toil, and accelerating delivery
Define agentic architecture patterns and establish best practices for building, testing, and operating AI systems in production - setting the engineering standard for how the team builds with AI
Design and build data pipelines, data lake integrations, and data models that enable clean, reliable data flows across enterprise systems
Drive adoption of engineering best practices on your team; set a culture of robust software development through exemplary code, design reviews, and operational rigor
Actively mentor and coach other engineers, helping them grow their technical skills and independence
Proactively simplify systems, resolve architecture deficiencies, and reduce operational burden - identifying one-way-door decisions and advocating for the right long-term solutions
Communicate technical designs and decisions effectively in writing; develop an understanding of problems that lets you explain them to others in simple, concise terms
