    Job Description

    Are you excited about using AI to solve real operational problems at global scale? Amazon is looking for a Software Development Engineer II to design and deliver the automation tools and AI-powered services that keep our worldwide network infrastructure running. In this role, you will build products that put intelligent technology directly in the hands of network engineers, helping them deploy, manage, debug, and maintain infrastructure across thousands of Amazon sites.

    You will work across a broad product portfolio that includes web platforms, command-line tools, AI-powered agents, downtime coordination systems, and dynamic authorization services. You will own your solutions end-to-end, from design through production, on a modern AWS stack that includes ECS Fargate, Bedrock, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, and Lambda. If you want to see your code reduce operational toil for engineers every single day, this is the role for you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design, build, and operate full-stack tools and AI-powered services used by network engineers across thousands of Amazon sites, owning features end-to-end from requirements through deployment and operations.
    • Develop and improve AI agents that use large language models to automate operational workflows such as infrastructure debugging, intelligent Q&A, and deployment coordination.
    • Build and enhance the downtime window management system that Site Operations teams rely on to coordinate maintenance activities, manage automated deployment reservations, and prevent scheduling conflicts.
    • Partner with network engineers, systems engineers, and product managers to turn operational pain points into scalable, self-service solutions spanning web UIs, CLIs, and authorization systems.
    • Mentor peers through code reviews and design discussions, identify service bottlenecks, and drive operational improvements that raise the quality bar for the entire team.

    A day in the life

    You will start your day reviewing deployment metrics and checking on the health of the services your team owns. From there you might jump into writing a new feature for an AI agent, pair with a teammate on a tricky authorization policy change, or dig into logs to root-cause an issue a network engineer reported. You will regularly work with Site Operations and product managers to prioritize what to build next, and your ideas for improving services carry real weight in the team"s planning process.

    Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment. The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include: 1. Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage 2. Maternity and Parental Leave Options 3. Paid Time Off (PTO) 4. 401(k) Plan

    If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we"d still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you're passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    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

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
