Software Development Engineer II, DC Bridge

Application deadline: Jul 22, 2026

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) 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.

Help us push the availability and reliability of cloud infrastructure to new heights! The AWS Data Center Systems team builds services to monitor and data center infrastructure controls monitoring and alerting systems. Our services directly contribute to the high availability of AWS data centers and Amazon’s sustainability goals.

Teams in Data Center Systems solve problems of massive metric ingestion, distributed systems/cloud computing, data visualization, anomaly detection, analytics, and graph networks.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer who is passionate about leading the architecture and development of application software that helps keep Amazon data centers running efficiently and securely. On any given day, we use Python, Java, Go, Lambda, DynamoDB, and CloudFormation, as well as other public AWS services and a host of Amazon-internal tools.

Key job responsibilities

In this role, you'll design, develop, and maintain the software systems that power AWS data center infrastructure planning and tracking. You'll build scalable solutions that ensure accurate representation of physical infrastructure—from power and cooling to network connectivity—enabling teams across AWS to make informed capacity decisions.

You'll collaborate with senior engineers on system architecture while mentoring junior team members. You'll own features end-to-end: gathering requirements, designing APIs and data models, implementing robust solutions, and driving operational excellence through monitoring, alarming, and on-call support.

You'll work to improve data quality, reduce manual interventions in automated pipelines, and eliminate operational toil. You'll partner with cross-functional teams to integrate infrastructure data across planning, design, and deployment workflows.

Above all, you'll care deeply about data integrity and system reliability, building solutions that scale with AWS's rapid growth while maintaining the accuracy our customers depend on.

A day in the life

We are an Agile team following the best practices of this methodology. Members own the services and help drive the requirements from start to finish. You will have the opportunity to write your own destiny here.
