Job Summary & Tips for Applying

If you’re applying to the Jr. SDE – Jr. Developer Program (JDP), keep your resume focused on proof that you can build and learn quickly. List your strongest programming language (Java, Python, or C++) and include 2–4 projects where you used object-oriented design, wrote clean code, and shipped something that works (class projects, hackathons, personal apps, open-source contributions).

Because the program is year-round and in-office in Victoria, make your availability crystal clear: confirm you can start in March 2026, work 16 hours/week during the school year, and switch to 40 hours/week in the summer, and that you’re within commuting distance. Add short bullets about collaboration (pairing, code reviews, team projects) and how you solved a tricky bug or ambiguous requirement—Amazon values structured thinking and ownership even at junior levels.

If you have prior internships, highlight impact (latency reduced, feature delivered, tests added, deployment improved). If you don’t, lean on strong projects and show fundamentals: data structures, testing, Git, and the ability to explain technical decisions clearly.
