Experience

Amazon—SDE Intern

Seattle, WA|Jun 2024 – Sep 2024

Built a serverless video transcoding service for Prime Video using Lambda and Step Functions, processing 50k+ videos per day.
Reduced P99 transcoding latency by 20% through intelligent job batching and a priority-queue backed scheduling layer.
Designed the DynamoDB data model for a video-metadata store handling 5M+ read operations per day.
Presented the architecture to the Director of Engineering; design adopted as an internal reference architecture for the team.

Meta—Software Engineer Intern

Developed internal tooling for Meta's data-centre provisioning pipeline, automating 3 previously manual deployment steps.
Saved the infrastructure team 15 hours/week of toil through workflow automation built on top of Meta's internal orchestration platform.
Profiled and reduced GPU idle time by 8% during PyTorch model-training jobs by surfacing scheduling inefficiencies.

This is one of the best intern cloud resumes I've seen. Lambda + DynamoDB for Prime Video is high-stakes work. Definitely call out the traffic scale if you're allowed to — that's what makes this memorable.

Terraform in the skills section is a huge green flag for cloud/infra roles. The 20% latency reduction is good — make sure you can speak to the caching strategy in detail, interviewers at FAANG will dig into it.

Really impressive for an internship. I'd add a brief education section — even for a cloud role, seeing the school and GPA (if strong) rounds out the picture for recruiters.

The Amazon brand carries a lot of weight. If you're targeting other cloud providers (GCP, Azure), consider showing any cross-cloud exposure or certifications in the skills section.

From a recruiting perspective this would pass our ATS instantly — Java, AWS, Lambda, DynamoDB are all keyword matches. Clean format, good length. Recommend applying to L4 roles, not just internships.
