Job description

The Systems Development Engineer role at AWS focuses on building automation software, diagnostic tooling, and fleet health infrastructure for AI/ML accelerated compute platforms. The team is responsible for maintaining the world's largest fleet of AI/ML accelerator servers, ensuring peak performance and minimizing downtime. Engineers will work across hardware, firmware, kernel, and software to prevent failures and enhance system reliability. This position offers the opportunity to impact customer experiences directly through innovative solutions.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of systems design, software development, operations, automation, and process improvement experience.
  • 6+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
  • 6+ years of programming with at least one modern language such as C++, C#, Java, Python, Golang, PowerShell, or Ruby.
  • 6+ years of designing or architecting new and existing systems.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent work experience.
  • 5+ years of Linux/Unix operating systems experience.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own the automation infrastructure for AI/ML fleet health at a large scale of servers.
  • Design and develop test frameworks and diagnostic tooling to validate hardware functionality.
  • Design predictive failure detection using telemetry and log correlation.
  • Develop monitoring dashboards for real-time fleet health visibility.
  • Debug complex system-level issues across compute, GPU, and networking in production.
  • Design scalable test automation for hardware bring-up and regression.

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.
