▷ (8/11/2025) Software Development Engineer – EC2

Come help us build automation that manages millions of hosts for Amazon. The Managed Fleets team abstracts host and fleet management away from thousands of service teams across Amazon, freeing up engineers to build services and deliver value to our customers. We operate at scale and manage millions of hosts keeping them safe, secure and efficient. To achieve this requires us to innovate and keep abreast with the latest cutting‑edge technologies.

Utility Computing (UC) – AWS Utility Computing provides product innovations ranging from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Key job responsibilities

On the Managed Fleets team, you will build innovative software that lets customers define the shape and size of their fleets and monitor the health and efficiency of how they are run. You will use technologies such as Java, Typescript, React, and Python, along with various native AWS services and Amazon‑internal tools. You are not required to be an expert in every listed technology, but you should be excited to learn about them. As an experienced engineer on this team, you will play a committed role in developing high‑quality software designs and solutions to our complex problems.

This position involves on‑call responsibilities, typically once every six weeks. We strive to keep on‑call paging minimal and maintain fault‑tolerant systems. Our team values work‑life balance and respects each other’s time.

A day in the life

A successful Software Development Engineer will have good design skills, an excellent ability to solve problems, strong communication skills, and a desire to be a key technical contributor. The software you will be responsible for will require breadth of technical development knowledge—including distributed systems, synchronous API orchestration, scalability, and availability. Daily work will involve interacting with engineers, stakeholders, and managers. We are just starting to scratch the surface of the opportunity in front of us and invite you to build with us and have Amazon‑scale impact.

About the team

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge‑sharing and mentorship. Senior members enjoy one‑on‑one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.

Diverse Experiences

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting or you haven’t followed a traditional path, don’t let that stop you from applying.

About AWS
