Job description

Amazon Web Services is seeking an experienced Software Development Engineer to join a team focused on building a large configuration audit platform. The role involves developing AI solutions that automate the lifecycle of resource type onboarding, emphasizing the intersection of distributed systems and AI-driven automation. The team values work-life balance and offers a flexible schedule to support personal and professional well-being. Candidates will have the opportunity to mentor junior engineers and contribute to innovative projects.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of design or architecture experience with design patterns, reliability, and scaling
  • 1+ years of experience as a software development engineer or in a related role
  • 1+ years of experience designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications using C#, C++, Java, or Perl
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate high-scale, highly available distributed services that extend AWS Config
  • Design and build AI agent orchestration systems that automate resource type onboarding at scale
  • Own solutions across the full lifecycle: design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and support
  • Ensure operational excellence for agentic workflows, including monitoring, alerting, and self-healing mechanisms
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers through design reviews and rigorous code reviews
  • Bring structure to ambiguous problems, manage competing priorities, and make data-driven decisions

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
