Description
Amazon is looking for a highly analytical Software Development Engineer to join the AWS Data Center Engineering team. The Data Center Engineering team owns the availability of AWS data centers, and has a direct impact on the customer experience. We obsess over customers by developing the most advanced engineering solutions that result in world class uptime, while continuously reducing costs for our customers. Amazon offers a fast paced, fun, and exciting work environment. We continue to grow at exponential rates and are looking for individuals that can support our speed to market, enjoy a challenge, and have a desire for professional growth and continuous learning experiences.
As a Software Dev Engineer, you will partner with Data Engineers and partner teams to build tooling and Gen AI models to harness the vast amount of operational data from the AWS fleet. You will own the timely delivery of such data for use in downstream business intelligence solutions, as well as all necessary actions to ensure the reliability of data provided for business decision making. Data analysis is at the core Amazon’s culture, and your work will have a direct impact on decision making and strategy for our organization.
The ideal candidates will have excellent analytical abilities, curiosity, and strong technical skills. They will have a strong bias toward data driven decision making, and building scalable data pipelines and systems to facilitate such decision making. They will be a self-starter; comfortable with ambiguity; able to think big and be creative, while exercising strong judgment and good instincts to be right a lot. The ideal candidate is motivated by delivering high-quality and innovative solutions within timeframes that most think are impossible. If you are excited about using data to look around corners and drive engineering solutions that are the foundation of AWS data centers, this role is for you!
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
1. Design, develop, and maintain scalable data analytics platforms and tools that support data center operations and engineering workflows
2. Develop APIs and integrations to connect field service engineering tools with enterprise platforms
Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following software engineering best practices
3. Build automated reporting systems to monitor data center performance, capacity, and efficiency metrics
4. Develop machine learning models or AI-assisted tools to optimize data center operations
5. Work closely with data engineers, business intelligence engineers, and TPMs to deliver end-to-end solutions
6. Lead design reviews and provide technical guidance on architecture decisions
7. Drive innovation in generative AI tooling and automation for data center workflows
