AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We're the people who keep the cloud running — supporting all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer II to join our Infrastructure Supply Chain team, building large-scale distributed systems that power one of the world's most complex physical supply chains. Our systems manage hundreds of thousands of rack demands annually across AMER, EMEA, APAC, and GOVT regions — from demand forecasting and material planning to manufacturing execution, logistics, and data center deployment.

These are greenfield projects offering a rare opportunity to build systems from the ground up using modern technologies including reactive microservices, serverless computing, and distributed NoSQL data stores.

What You'll Do
Design and build highly scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems that support the end-to-end infrastructure supply chain — spanning demand planning, fulfillment, manufacturing, logistics, and DC readiness
Solve complex architecture and business problems, delivering extensible solutions that operate at AWS scale
Write high-quality, modular, functional, and testable code with a focus on operational excellence
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including supply chain planners, hardware engineers, and operations managers to translate business requirements into technical solutions
Formally mentor junior engineers on system design, coding best practices, and troubleshooting
Contribute to the full software development lifecycle — from design and code reviews through testing, deployment, and operations
Drive innovation in areas such as demand forecasting, supply optimization, and end-to-end observability through the Infrastructure Control Tower
Basic Qualifications
3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems
Experience programming with at least one modern software programming language (Java, Python, TypeScript, or equivalent)
Strong understanding of fundamental algorithms, data structures, and system design principles
Preferred Qualifications
3+ years of full software development lifecycle experience, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
Experience building distributed systems, microservices architectures, or event-driven platforms at scale
Familiarity with AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS, Step Functions, ECS/EKS)
Experience with supply chain, logistics, or manufacturing domain systems
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent
Why Join Us
Greenfield opportunity — Build from scratch with technologies and define the architecture from day one
Massive scale — Work on systems that manage 130+ hardware categories, global manufacturing partners (Jabil, Foxconn, Quanta), and data center deployments worldwide
High impact — Every rack you help deliver powers the AWS services that millions of customers depend on
Career growth — Endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and career-advancing resources to help you grow into a senior technical leader
About the Team
We value diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.

We value work-life harmony and strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. Our employee-led and company-sponsored affinity groups promote inclusion and empower our people to take pride in what makes us unique.

About the team
As an SDE II on the Infrastructure Supply Chain team, your typical day will include a mix of deep technical work, collaboration, and continuous learning:

Morning Stand-up & Sprint Planning — Start the day with your agile team to review progress, discuss blockers, and align on sprint priorities across supply chain workstreams
Design & Architecture Sessions — Participate in or lead design reviews for new features — such as a new fulfillment pipeline stage tracker or a demand forecasting data ingestion service
Heads-Down Coding — Spend focused blocks writing, refactoring, and testing code for distributed microservices, serverless functions, and API integrations that power supply chain workflows
Code Reviews — Review pull requests from teammates, providing constructive feedback on design patterns, edge cases, performance, and operational readiness
Debugging & Troubleshooting — Investigate production issues using CloudWatch dashboards, X-Ray traces, and Control Tower observability tools to identify root causes and deploy fixes
Cross-Team Collaboration — Join working sessions with supply chain planners, hardware engineers, or logistics teams to clarify requirements, demo features, or align on data contracts
Mentoring — Pair-program with junior engineers, walk through design approaches on a whiteboard, or review their design documents to help them grow technically
Operational Reviews — Monitor service health metrics, review alarms, update runbooks, and participate in weekly operational excellence reviews to maintain a high availability bar
Documentation & Knowledge Sharing — Write or update design documents, API specs, and wiki pages; present tech talks or brown-bag sessions to share learnings with the broader team
Innovation & Experimentation — Dedicate time to explore new approaches — prototyping an ML-based anomaly detector for dwell time spikes, evaluating a new AWS service for event-driven workflows, or contributing to team hackathon projects
