    Job Description

    Amazon Operations Infrastructure Services (part of Amazon Robotics) is seeking a System Development Engineer II to join our Network Configuration Management team. In this role, you"ll create software that manages IT infrastructure across Amazon"s global network of Fulfillment Centers.

    You"ll design and implement scalable network configuration management systems that automate deployment and validation across a wide variety of network equipment, while developing configuration drift detection and remediation capabilities that ensure operational consistency. Working in close partnership with Network Engineers, Systems Engineers, and AI/ML teams globally, you"ll translate operational needs into practical technical solutions and build automation frameworks using infrastructure-as-code fundamentals that allow our business to scale with customer demand.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design and build scalable network configuration management systems that automate deployment and validation across hundreds of thousands of devices in Amazon Fulfillment Centers worldwide
    • Develop full-stack automation solutions spanning frontend interfaces to backend systems, enabling network engineers to execute complex infrastructure changes safely at scale
    • Architect configuration drift detection and remediation frameworks using infrastructure-as-code fundamentals, preventing network incidents before they impact operations
    • Own end-to-end delivery of projects by building proprietary tools, collaborating across teams, and contributing to code reviews and operational readiness reviews
    • Create clear, accurate documentation and runbooks that enable team members to maintain and extend systems they did not originally build

    A day in the life

    You"ll start your day reviewing operational metrics and alerts for the network configuration systems your team owns, then shift into focused coding time where you build and improve automation tools. Collaboration is a regular part of your routine - you"ll pair with network engineers to understand their pain points, participate in design reviews with teammates, and troubleshoot configuration issues that arise across Fulfillment Centers. You"ll also spend time coaching newer team members on system architecture and operational practices, helping the team continuously raise the bar on quality.

    Amazon offers a full range of benefits to support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and children. 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.
