    Job Description

    Amazon Robotics operates one of the world"s largest fleets of industrial robotic systems. The ARGES (Assisted Repair and Guided Equipment Solutions) team within Robotics Operations Management (ROM) is building the next generation of intelligent maintenance tooling to reduce the expertise required for equipment recovery and diagnostics.

    As an SDE II on ARGES, you will design and build full-stack applications that guide field technicians through complex hardware maintenance workflows. You"ll work across our portfolio, including browser-based monitoring tools, tablet diagnostic applications, and backend services that integrate directly with industrial control systems (PLCs, safety controllers, robotic workcells). Your work will directly reduce mean-time-to-repair and enable technicians to safely resolve equipment issues that previously required specialized engineering support.

    This is an opportunity to shape the architecture of a platform that will converge multiple maintenance tools into a single intelligent system by 2027. You"ll operate with autonomy, make key technical decisions, and see your code running in warehouses across the globe.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications spanning React/TypeScript frontends, AWS serverless backends (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway), and infrastructure-as-code (CDK)
    • Build browser-based and tablet-based tools that guide field technicians through equipment diagnostics, configuration, and repair workflows
    • Develop integrations with industrial control systems (PLCs, safety controllers) and device communication layers to surface real-time equipment state
    • Own features end-to-end: requirements gathering, system design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support
    • Collaborate with field operations teams to understand technician workflows and translate them into intuitive, safety-conscious user experiences
    • Design for constrained environments - warehouse networks, on-premise compute (AWS Outposts), and intermittent connectivity
    • Leverage field maintenance data and technician feedback to provide closed-loop insights to hardware engineering teams, driving design improvements that increase equipment maintainability and reduce total cost of ownership
    • Contribute to architecture decisions that shape the convergence of multiple maintenance tools into a unified platform
    • Participate in on-call rotation and maintain operational excellence for production systems serving global fulfillment sites
    • Mentor junior engineers and raise the bar through code reviews, design reviews, and technical documentation

    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.
