SDE II - Edge Fleet Management & OTA Delivery

Amazon Web Services (AWS); Seattle (WA); On-site; USD 144,000 - 194,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. in Seattle, WA is seeking a Software Development Engineer II to own the design and delivery of core edge-first fleet management subsystems for Physical AI.

You will build offline provisioning, state reconciliation on reconnect, staged rollouts, and secure OTA delivery across heterogeneous processors. You will also develop cloud-side services to orchestrate fleets while debugging across hardware and software boundaries.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
• Strong Linux and systems-level skills across the hardware–software boundary.
• Practical distributed-systems experience including state machines, idempotency, reconciliation, retries, and persistence.
• Ability to design offline-first and reconnect-and-reconcile behavior for edge systems operating without guaranteed connectivity.
• Experience developing cloud-side services that orchestrate, monitor, and coordinate with fleets of edge devices.
• Track record of independently owning a substantial subsystem end to end from design through production.
• Ability to author solid design documents and make sound architectural decisions.
• Experience with fleet management or OTA update systems including staged rollout, rollback, pause-resume, and dependency handling.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate core subsystems of an edge-first fleet management platform, spanning offline provisioning, state reconciliation on reconnect, staged fleet-wide rollouts, and atomic rollback across multi-processor machines.
• Develop cloud-side services that orchestrate, monitor, and coordinate with fleets of edge devices, ensuring reliable interaction between cloud control planes and disconnected or intermittently connected hardware.
• Build secure OTA delivery pipelines for AI models and software across heterogeneous processor topologies.
• Write and review high-performance, production-quality code, and debug issues spanning OS, runtimes, networks, and devices.
• Author design documents for new subsystems and drive them independently from proposal through implementation, testing, and production operation.
• Define and uphold correctness guarantees for disconnected, reconnecting, and partially connected system states.
• Participate in on-call rotation, troubleshoot production issues, and drive root-cause fixes for the platform.
• Mentor junior engineers and raise the engineering bar through code review, design review, and technical guidance.
• Collaborate with product, hardware, and adjacent platform teams to define requirements and integration points for new fleet management capabilities.
• Contribute to the technical roadmap and architectural direction of the platform as it scales to new device types and processor topologies.
