First, I want to offer the meagre hope that Trump re-election is looking somewhat unlikely according to the polls, not that Biden is that much more palatable, but the republican agenda is none-the-less likely to be hindered. Clinton's loss was a mix of unusual circumstances, both tactical and strategic blunders and weak economy in early 2016. (A big part of issues with polls is that they struggle to account for the electoral college, but it's still unusual for popular vote winners to lose and the the situation in the key swing states is favorable to Biden.) Of course you might have prospects other than Trump in mind, but I think almost everyone is dedicating some thought into the issue, so it might be in your mind too.
I'd like to highlight nordic countries as an option. If you manage to make it in one country, it's somewhat easy to move between them because of cultural, political and economic ties.
Everyone speaks English, though finding employment is easier if you speak a native language. Many large companies operate internally in English, for example. In addition, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are relatively easy to learn for an English speaker so it's reasonably feasibly to escape expat circles. (Finnish is way more challenging - the challenge is akin to learning korean or japanese. Many english speakers have done it so it's possible, just challenging.)
If you got a degree in software engineering and work experience at Amazon, I am confident it's possible for you score a local software job. The local bourgeoisie is quite concerned about shrinking labor force, this can work in your favor.
I don't want to hype the nordic too much, I just think that after the anglophone countries they're the easiest place to move to for you.
One last thing to consider is dual citizenship. Becoming a citizen has multiple upsides, if you choose to stay, and may or mat not keep your US citizenship as well. I think this is possible in Finland or Sweden, but you need to check for others.
