Vancouver's tech scene has a new opportunity worth paying attention to. Amazon's

Customer Service Technologies

division is looking for a

Software Development Engineer

to join the team building the

Network Control Center (NCC)

— a greenfield, AI-native platform designed to fundamentally change how Amazon detects, responds to, and recovers from incidents across its

global Customer Service network .

This isn't a role where you'll be maintaining legacy code or working inside a rigid, already-defined system. The NCC is a new initiative, and the team is small, focused, and moving fast. You'll be working directly with

applied scientists, product managers, and senior engineers

to take ambiguous customer problems and turn them into production systems that operate at massive scale — touching the experience of millions of customers worldwide.

About the Role: Software Development Engineer The core of this position is building the systems that replace Amazon's current fragmented, manually operated incident management approach with

continuous observability, autonomous response, and intelligent customer recovery . You'll own the end-to-end delivery of features — from technical design and implementation through to deployment and production operation. The work spans

real-time signal processing, anomaly detection, autonomous incident response, and closed-loop recovery systems .

You'll also be collaborating closely with applied science teams to

integrate ML models

for anomaly detection, predictive alerting, and closed-loop learning into live production environments. Operational ownership is a real part of this role — you'll participate in

on-call rotations , build dashboards and runbooks, and continuously improve system reliability. There's also a mentorship component: you'll help junior engineers grow in system design, code quality, and operational best practices.

Benefits and Salary The base salary range for this

Software Development Engineer

position in Vancouver, BC is

$114,800 to $191,800 CAD annually . Amazon's total compensation package may also include sign-on payments and





Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) . Final compensation is based on experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes

health insurance

(medical, dental, vision, prescription, basic life and AD&D;), a

Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) , a

Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP) , paid time off, and additional resources to support health and well-being.
