Software Development Engineer (Java/AWS), FireTV

DESCRIPTION:

Are you interested in building the core test infrastructure that Fire TV teams and partners use to validate every device, feature, and release? We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to build new systems that support test authoring, storage, sharing, and execution across the Fire TV ecosystem.

Our team owns the foundational tools that enable engineers, QA partners, pipelines, and automated systems to run consistent and reliable tests across local development, FireOS build systems, and third-party partner environments.

As a member of the team, you will collaborate with partner teams, engineers, and test authors to design, implement, test, launch, and maintain software systems that form the foundation of Fire TV test operations. You will contribute to strategy by helping define platform capabilities, establish system architecture, and promote best practices for scalable test infrastructure. You will gain experience with technologies across distributed systems, device communication layers, automation frameworks, and observability. You will also have opportunities to support junior engineers through knowledge sharing and collaboration.

Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer in the FireTV team you would:

- Design, develop and build APIs, plug-in models, and orchestration layers that run tests from local environments, code-review systems, build pipelines, and partner networks
- Translate functional requirements into supportable solutions that integrate with device communication layers, pipelines, and Fire TV developer tools
- Evaluate and make decisions on new or existing test frameworks, execution systems, and developer tools
- Mentor junior engineers

A day in the life
As an SDE on the Fire TV test infrastructure team, you'll start your day collaborating with engineers and test authors to understand their testing needs. You'll design and implement core components that enable seamless test execution across development environments, build systems, and partner ecosystems.

Throughout the day, you'll write code for automation frameworks, troubleshoot integration issues, and participate in technical discussions that shape our testing architecture. You'll analyze metrics to identify optimization opportunities and share knowledge with teammates through code reviews and documentation, directly impacting the quality of Fire TV products used by millions of customers worldwide.

About the team
The Fire TV team is building innovative infrastructure that unifies test authoring, sharing, and execution across internal component teams and external partners. Our systems support UI, integration, performance, stability, and contract testing throughout the entire FireOS development lifecycle.

We are establishing a new engineering team to shape how Fire TV developers and partners run automated tests at scale. You will be part of a collaborative team that designs, delivers, and supports comprehensive test infrastructure used across Fire TV devices, pipelines, and partner ecosystems.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

- Experience (non-internship) in professional software development
- Experience designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems
