AWS CEO Matt Garman says Amazon is hiring 11,000 software development engineer interns and early-career hires in 2026, pushing back on fears that AI is eliminating software engineering jobs. His comments come after Amazon’s two biggest layoff rounds in six months—30,000-plus corporate cuts in total—and amid warnings from other tech leaders that AI coding tools are fundamentally disrupting the profession. Garman acknowledges the role is changing, but insists demand for developers is accelerating.
