Senior Software Engineer – AI Applications

As a Senior AI Applications Engineer at Bezos Academy, you will help build AI-powered software applications that support teachers’ abilities to deliver measurable results in early childhood education. As a hands-on, results-driven software developer, you will play a pivotal role in developing intelligent systems for teachers, staff and families with a small product development team. Your products will both thrill and delight their users and enable our national school network to nurture young children’s originality, foster self-agency, cultivate a love for learning, and spark joy.

You have a proven track record of combining machine-learning models, high-quality data, and human-centered workflows into production-ready tools; you consistently deliver solutions that solve human problems. Resourceful throughout the software-development lifecycle—from research and prototyping to deployment, monitoring, and evaluation—you work effectively despite constraints on time and resources. In past roles, you have successfully launched AI-powered applications in collaboration with product-development teams. As a software engineer with a customer mindset, you take pride in applying practical AI workflows and sound software-engineering principles to build high-impact AI products. Adept at working from scratch, you navigate ambiguity, iterate quickly, and shape solutions that earn customer love. Hands-on experience with evaluations, inference validation, and AI guardrails has helped you strengthen the safety, performance, and ethics of AI features. You recognize exceptional work when you see it and instill that same passion in others.

In this role, you will focus on building, measuring, and iterating for children. Motivated equally by great products and great impact, you are deeply inspired by our mission to expand access to quality early childhood education and experiences.
