Software Development Engineer Intern
Amazon, SCOT - FBA Inbound Placement Team
May '24 - Aug '24 · 4 months
Engineered a real-time query system delivering live insights for millions of global shipping decisions. Designed automated alerts that cut issue resolution time and kept operations running at scale.
What challenges did I face while working here?
The trickiest part was designing a scheduling system flexible enough for teams across the globe to configure their own SQL queries without needing to touch infrastructure - getting the AppConfig and CDK setup right so it stayed both safe and self-serve took a few iterations.
How did this role shape my career aspirations or personal goals?
This internship pushed me to think in terms of systems that other engineers would configure and depend on, not just code I'd run myself, and gave me a much deeper appreciation for observability and alerting at scale.
