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, 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 and operate full-stack tools and AI-powered services used by network engineers across thousands of Amazon sites, owning features from requirements through deployment and ongoing operations.
- Develop AI agents that use large language models to automate operational workflows, including infrastructure debugging, intelligent Q&A, and deployment coordination.
- Build and improve the downtime window management system that Site Operations teams rely on to coordinate maintenance activities and manage automated deployment reservations.
- Partner with network engineers, systems engineers, and product managers to turn operational pain points into self-service solutions spanning web UIs, CLIs, and authorization systems.
- Mentor peers through code reviews and design discussions while identifying service bottlenecks and driving operational improvements across the 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.
