    Description

    AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we"re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain - and we"re looking for talented people who want to help.

    You"ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You"ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you"ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

    Our team is at the heart of AWS compute fulfillment - we build the mission-critical systems that translate demand from major AWS services (EC2, S3, EBS, Networking, and more) into actionable plans for material procurement, data center capacity allocation, rack building, and rack landing across AWS"s global infrastructure. We are looking for a proven Software Development Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment and can hit the ground running.

    You will own and build systems that are responsible for:

    • Rack Building & Rack Landing - orchestrating the end-to-end lifecycle from plan to physical delivery
    • Plan-to-Execution Convergence - proactively identifying deviations between planned and actual execution, surfacing root causes, and driving corrective actions
    • Fulfillment Explainability - building intelligent systems that explain "why" plans miss targets, enabling planners and operators to take timely, informed action

    These are high-impact, globally-scoped systems where reliability and accuracy directly affect AWS"s ability to meet customer demand. You will work on challenging distributed systems problems at massive scale, leveraging modern AWS-native architectures.

    Key job responsibilities

    1. Design, build, and operate large-scale distributed systems that power AWS infrastructure fulfillment planning and execution.

    2. Architect solutions that detect and explain deviations between build plans and execution outcomes, enabling proactive intervention.

    3. Write high-quality, modular, testable code and set the standard for engineering excellence on the team.

    4. Solve complex architecture and business problems with extensible, scalable solutions built on native AWS services.

    5. Formally mentor engineers on design, coding, operational excellence, and troubleshooting.

    6. Collaborate cross-functionally with demand planning, supply chain operations, and partner engineering teams in a global environment.

    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 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.
