Job Description
Are you excited about building the infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI workloads? As a Senior Software Development Engineer on the EC2 UltraServer Provisioning team, you will lead technical strategy, design, and operation of infrastructure services - including provisioning and availability of AWS Trainium-based AI servers. You will architect large-scale systems, build microservices, and collaborate cross-functionally with capacity management, hardware engineering, and datacenter teams to manage AI/ML infrastructure at scale.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of infrastructure systems that support AI workloads on UltraServers, ensuring reliability and performance at scale.
- Own your team"s architectural direction for provisioning systems, influencing technical decisions across dependent systems and driving alignment with partner teams.
- Collaborate with capacity management, hardware engineering, and datacenter teams to improve provisioning workflows and operate efficiently at scale.
- Mentor and coach engineers on the team, driving adoption of engineering best practices and raising the technical bar across the organization.
- Investigate complex performance challenges, develop solutions, and publish actionable best practices to internal and external stakeholders.
A day in the life
You might start your morning reviewing operational metrics for provisioning pipelines, then shift into a design review with hardware engineering partners on an upcoming server configuration. After lunch, you could be deep in code - prototyping a new microservice or refactoring a critical path in the provisioning workflow. Throughout the day, you balance hands-on technical work with mentoring teammates, unblocking cross-team dependencies, and contributing to architectural decisions that shape how AI infrastructure scales.
About the team
The EC2 UltraServer Provisioning team is responsible for delivering AWS Trainium-based UltraServer infrastructure at scale. We manage end-to-end provisioning workflows from host ingestion through testing, repair, and recovery. Our mission is to ensure that AI/ML customers have reliable, high-performance compute infrastructure ready when they need it. We are a collaborative engineering team that values technical depth, operational excellence, and building systems that grow with customer demand.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
