Amazon is seeking exceptional software engineering talent to develop the on-robot software components that connect intelligent robots to fleet-scale cloud systems, enabling telemetry collection, model deployment, over-the-air updates, and fleet coordination at unprecedented scale. We're building revolutionary software infrastructure that combines AI, large-scale distributed systems, and advanced robotics orchestration to create adaptable automation solutions capable of coordinating heterogeneous robot fleets safely alongside humans in dynamic industrial environments.
As a Software Development Engineer, you will own on-robot software components that bridge the gap between autonomous robot intelligence and cloud-based fleet management. You will work at the intersection of embedded systems and cloud-connected distributed architectures, ensuring that on-robot software operates reliably under real-time constraints, bandwidth limitations, and the safety requirements of industrial environments where robots work alongside humans. Your work will enable robots to receive fleet coordination commands, publish operational telemetry, receive over-the-air software and model updates, and participate as intelligent members of a coordinated fleet.
The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in software development with a strong understanding of how systems integrate with cloud infrastructure and large-scale distributed operations. You are hands-on, writing production-quality code and building resilient software that operates in resource-constrained environments. You can reason about latency requirements, failure modes, data flow direction, and graceful degradation. If you're passionate about building the software that makes robots smarter, more connected, and more capable as part of a coordinated fleet, this role offers the chance to make a lasting impact on the future of automation.
Key job responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain on-robot software components that enable reliable connectivity between robots and cloud systems, supporting capabilities such as telemetry, remote updates, fleet coordination, and continuous learning.
- Build software that operates reliably under real-time constraints, handling bandwidth-constrained environments, intermittent connectivity, and the sensor data volumes generated by modern industrial robots.
- Collaborate with on-robot teams through joint architecture sessions to define and maintain clean software interfaces, with boundaries shaped by latency requirements, scope of optimization, data flow direction, failure modes, and development velocity.
- Develop and maintain automated test frameworks for on-robot software components, including hardware-in-the-loop testing, simulated fleet scenarios, and integration tests that validate the on-robot to cloud communication path end to end.
- Collaborate with applied science and data infrastructure teams to ensure on-robot telemetry and model deployment components meet the requirements of continuous learning pipelines and fleet intelligence systems.
- Collaborate with fleet management and platform teams to ensure on-robot components integrate cleanly with fleet management software, platform services, deployment infrastructure, and monitoring and alerting systems.
- Contribute to the design of robot communication APIs and platform architecture, ensuring they support scalability and multi-tenant requirements for both internal operations and future external customers.
- Leverage AI-native development practices and AI coding assistants to accelerate development while maintaining the quality and reliability standards required for software systems in industrial environments.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
- 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
- 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
- Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Software Developer
Align your degree to your role
H-1B1 Chile requires your position to qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning a directly related bachelor's degree or higher. A computer science or software engineering degree aligns cleanly, but a general business degree supporting a developer role will draw scrutiny at the consulate.
Pull your O*NET occupation profile early
Use O*NET to confirm your exact job zone and the standard degree requirements for Software Developers. Consular officers reference these classifications when assessing specialty occupation, so matching your resume and job description to O*NET language strengthens your application.
Search verified H-1B1 filers on Migrate Mate
Filter your job search on Migrate Mate to companies with H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history. Targeting employers who have already navigated the DOL Labor Condition Application process for this visa category cuts negotiation time and avoids sponsors who don't understand consular-only processing.
Verify the employer's prevailing wage compliance
Your job offer must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Run the OFLC Wage Search before you negotiate, so you can confirm the offered salary satisfies the LCA requirement and flag any gap before the offer letter is drafted.
Confirm the employer understands consular processing
Unlike H-1B visa, H-1B1 Chile doesn't involve USCIS petition approval. Some hiring managers confuse the two and expect a standard I-129 process. Clarify upfront that you apply at the Chilean U.S. consulate using the certified LCA, not through USCIS premium processing.
Request the certified LCA before scheduling your appointment
Your employer must receive DOL certification of the Labor Condition Application before you can submit your DS-160 and book your consulate interview. Delays happen when developers schedule appointments before the LCA is certified, forcing a reschedule and wasting consulate slot availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Software Developer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes, software development consistently qualifies because USCIS and DOL recognize it as requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field. The key is that your job description must reflect duties requiring that specific theoretical knowledge, not just general technical skills that any degree could support.
How does H-1B1 Chile differ from H-1B for software developers?
H-1B1 Chile skips the lottery entirely and requires no USCIS petition. You apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Chile using a DOL-certified LCA your employer files. The annual cap is 1,400 visas and has never filled. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't permit dual intent, so it's a nonimmigrant-only path.
How do I find employers who have sponsored H-1B1 Chile visas for software roles?
Migrate Mate lets you search job listings filtered by companies with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history for software developer roles. Targeting employers who have already completed the DOL Labor Condition Application process for this visa type is faster and more reliable than cold-applying and hoping the recruiter understands the process.
Can I switch software developer jobs while on H-1B1 Chile status?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application with DOL and you'll need to obtain a new H-1B1 visa stamp before or after the job change, depending on your situation. Unlike H-1B portability under AC21, there's no provision to begin working for the new employer while the application is pending.
Does my Chilean computer science degree satisfy U.S. specialty occupation requirements?
A Chilean bachelor's degree in computer science or software engineering is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for H-1B1 visa purposes, but consular officers assess the equivalency. If your degree title is nonstandard or your coursework is atypical, a credential evaluation from a recognized service strengthens your application significantly.
