Introduction

At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. Our intense focus on customers is why Amazon is one of the world's most beloved brands. Customer obsession is part of our company DNA.

Your design, code, and problem-solving skills will help address complex technical challenges in areas such as distributed systems, data mining, automation, optimization, scalability, and security.

In addition to working on an impactful project, you will have opportunities for personal and professional development, networking, and activities with other interns.

Regardless of your internship location, Amazon provides tools and opportunities to own your project and learn in a real-world environment. Many Amazon technologies overlap, and teams work with services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), the catalogue, and services designed to personalize customer experiences.

If this opportunity interests you, apply and chart your own path at Amazon.
