Amazon says demand for hiring new software engineers is "accelerating," and it plans to hire 11,000 SDE interns in 2026, roughly in line with recent years. The update signals steady ongoing investment in engineering talent rather than a major shift in hiring strategy. The news is modestly positive for AWS and Amazon’s technology pipeline, but unlikely to move the stock materially on its own.
