Senior Software Development Engineer, AWS Data Center Bridge

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.

Do you want to solve business challenges through innovative technology? Do you

enjoy working on scalable services technology in a team environment? Do you like

working on industry-defining projects that move the needle?

At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf

of our customers. The focus we have on our customers is why we are one of the

world’s most beloved brands – customer obsession is part of our company DNA. Our

Software Development Engineers (SDEs) use technology to solve complex problems

and get to see the impact of their work first-hand.

The challenges SDEs solve for at Amazon are big and influence millions of

customers, sellers, and products around the world. We are looking for

individuals who are passionate about creating new products, features, and

services from scratch while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company where

development cycles are measured in weeks, not years. If this sounds interesting

to you, apply and come chart your own path at Amazon.

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.

About the team

*Why AWS*

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted

cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —

that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies

trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

*Diverse Experiences*

Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred

to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path,

*Work/Life Balance*

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the

expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of

our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home,

there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

*Inclusive Team Culture*

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led

affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our

differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our

Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity)

conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s
