Build agentic diagnostics and analytics services that explain catalog changes across billions of Amazon products
Amazon's Catalog Diagnostics and Analytics (CDA) team, part of Selection and Catalog Systems, owns one of Amazon Retail's largest data lakes and is building GenAI/agentic solutions to make catalog changes transparent and explainable at billion-product, 100K-TPS scale. This SDE role sits at the intersection of production-grade transactional systems, large-scale information retrieval, and emerging agentic architectures — full ownership from design through deployment.
