You'll be working with modern tech stacks including microservices architecture, step functions, event-driven systems, distributed databases, and sophisticated identity verification services.
The ideal candidate will have demonstrated expertise in:
Architecting globally distributed systems with emphasis on scalability and reliability. This includes experience with cross-regional data consistency, cache invalidation strategies, and distributed transaction management. You should be well-versed in designing fault-tolerant systems that maintain high availability across multiple regions while handling complex state management.
Good background in security protocols and identity management systems is essential, as is experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous processing patterns.
Additionally, you should be comfortable with modern DevOps practices and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for large-scale distributed systems.
Our engineering culture emphasizes technical excellence, innovation, and iterative development using advanced technologies. We operate in an environment where architectural decisions have significant impact on Amazon's global marketplace operations, requiring careful consideration of scalability, security, and performance implications.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

The Team The Biohub in San Francisco is an independent nonprofit research institute that brings together three powerhouse universities - Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco - into a single collaborative technology and discovery engine. Biohub itself supports some of the brightest, boldest engineers, data scientists, and biomedical researchers to investigate the fundamental mechanisms underlying disease and develop new technologies that will lead to actionable diagnostics and effective therapies. We are guided by our values of scholarly excellence; disruptive innovation; hands-on engineering/hacking/building; partnership and collaboration; open communication and respect; inclusiveness; and opportunity for all.
Our Vision
* We pursue large scientific challenges that cannot be pursued in conventional environments
* We enable individual investigators to pursue their riskiest and most innovative ideas
* The technologies developed at Biohub facilitate research by scientists and clinicians at our home institutions and beyond
Diversity of thought, ideas, and perspectives are at the heart of Biohub and enable disruptive innovation and scholarly excellence. We are committed to cultivating an organization where all colleagues feel inspired and know their work makes an important contribution.
The Opportunity
The Biohub in San Francisco is seeking a highly motivated graduate student to join our 10-week Summer Internship Program, running from June 16, 2026, to August 21, 2026. R&D Engineering Interns are embedded within active research and technology teams, contributing directly to ongoing platform and method development efforts.
