Job details

Software Development Engineer II, AWS Infrastructure, ADS-DSE

DESCRIPTION

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

As a Software Development Engineer (SDE II), you’ll play a pivotal role in designing and building innovative, scalable software solutions that enable AWS teams to make critical decisions about infrastructure planning and operations. You’ll work on complex distributed systems, creating tools and applications that improve data processing, visualization, and operational workflows to ensure excellence for AWS global infrastructure. Your work will directly impact AWS’s ability to deliver seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about solving hard technical problems, thrives in a collaborative environment, and is excited to build solutions at scale. If you’re ready to be part of the team that keeps the cloud running, we’d love to hear from you!

Key job responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain robust, scalable software solutions that empower AWS teams to make critical business decisions for global infrastructure management.
  • Use technologies such as Java, Python, and AWS services (e.g., Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, Redshift) to develop back-end systems, APIs, and end-to-end workflows for data processing, visualization, and operational improvements.
  • Contribute to integrating and optimizing existing solutions, support onboarding data from tools such as Tableau, and improve system performance and scalability.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, UX designers, and cross-functional teams to drive the full software development lifecycle, from architecture and design to deployment and operations.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues while contributing to improving engineering best practices.

A day in the life
A day as an SDE II involves building and optimizing large-scale infrastructure systems. You might start with reviewing logs, debugging issues, and implementing new features to improve data processing. Throughout the day, you’ll engage in design reviews, collaborate with UX and product teams, and write clean, scalable code. You’ll test and deploy features, optimize AWS integrations (e.g., Lambda, DynamoDB), and automate workflows. The day wraps up with sprint planning, documentation, and aligning with stakeholders to ensure progress on high-impact projects. You’ll deliver scalable solutions that enhance AWS’s decision-making and operational efficiency.
