Software Development Engineer, AWS Manufacturing Infrastructure Services

Job Overview

Come change the way the world sees the Cloud!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build massively scalable systems that are used by the world’s largest cloud infrastructures? Would you enjoy broad yet equally deep scope that impacts all AWS systems globally?

AWS Manufacturing Infrastructure Services continues to pioneer and our team is architecting, building, and operating scalable services that are at the core of AWS infrastructure. We own all AWS platforms, services, infrastructure, and tools that ensure the health of AWS hardware by testing every new system across all AWS manufacturing sites and ensuring they are healthy when delivered to data centers.

Our platform enables service owners such as EC2, EBS, S3, and others to deliver healthy servers for their service. Our team leads a large‑scale service that sets the bar for Amazon and the industry in platform‑level services, effectively enabling the hardware at scale by designing and developing the software that manages the verification and testing of every server and rack in AWS manufacturing sites.

Why it’s high‑impact? We set the bar high to ensure that AWS customers get the capacity they need to run their applications on a healthy hardware server within an SLA.
