Software Development Engineer

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 help us 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.

Key job responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of multi-component software systems across the full development lifecycle, from defining technical strategy through deployment and operational excellence.
• Own your team's architectural direction, making informed trade-offs between scalability, performance, security, and maintainability while ensuring software is extensible for future needs.
• Collaborate with engineers across related teams to align on system interfaces, resolve cross-team dependencies, and deliver integrated solutions that serve customers effectively.
• Mentor and coach engineers on your team and beyond, raising the engineering bar through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on guidance that helps others grow.
• Evaluate and integrate generative artificial intelligence tools and emerging technologies where appropriate, applying responsible practices to improve team productivity and software quality.

A day in the life:
You might start your morning reviewing a technical design document from a teammate, providing feedback that sharpens the approach before implementation begins. After a quick standup, you dive into coding a critical component of a system your team is building, ensuring it meets the high bar for clarity, error handling, and documentation you set for yourself. In the afternoon, you join a cross-team architecture discussion to align on shared interfaces, then wrap up by pairing with a junior engineer to help them work through a tricky problem.

Why AWS
