Job description

Systems Development Engineer , Operations Infrastructure Services

Job ID: 10490709 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Join us in building infrastructure monitoring applications that power Amazon's global operations. You'll design and deliver services that process high-volume device telemetry, evaluate network linkages in real time, and provide operators with clear, actionable insights across thousands of sites worldwide.

We're an agile development team within Operations Infrastructure Services (OIS), part of Amazon Robotics, assisting fulfillment centers, delivery stations, and sortation centers globally. Our monitoring product gives operators a single, reliable view of device and network health—from live infrastructure telemetry to reliance-aware alarming that points to root causes instead of overwhelming teams with duplicate alerts. You'll have the opportunity to apply modern AI technologies, from AI-assisted incident detection to generative AI tooling that accelerates how we build and operate our network.

You might start your day reviewing a design for integrating metrics from a new device type being onboarded across OIS sites worldwide, then inspect runtime metrics to tune collection thresholds and data quality before shipping a monitoring improvement operators experience immediately. You'll partner with teammates on design reviews, participate in quick feedback loops, and own features end-to-end — working alongside infrastructure teams to deliver the monitoring experience needed to reduce building downtime and assistance. Throughout the day, you'll balance designing scalable monitoring solutions with hands‑on implementation, working across back-end services and data pipelines while assisting each other's growth and bringing your authentic perspective to the team.

Key job responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate scalable monitoring infrastructure on AWS that ingests and processes high-volume device telemetry and network topology data
• Own systems end-to-end across monitoring tooling and data pipelines, from build through deployment, operation, and ongoing maintenance
• Partner with infrastructure and operations stakeholders to grasp monitoring gaps and translate them into reliable, automated solutions that reduce manual intervention
• Apply AI/ML and generative AI techniques to improve detection quality, reduce alarm noise, and streamline operational workflows
• Raise the bar on system reliability, operational excellence, and automation through thoughtful design, thorough testing, and continuous improvement

A day in the life

You might start by reviewing a design for integrating metrics from a new device type being onboarded across all Robotics buildings worldwide, then inspect runtime metrics to tune metric collection and quality before shipping a service improvement our operators experience immediately. Our team values partnership, quick feedback loops, and clear ownership.

Amazon offers a full range of benefits that assist you and eligible family members, including domestic partners. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment.

• 1. Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
• 2. Maternity and Parental Leave Options
• 3. Paid Time Off (PTO)
• 4. 401(k) Plan

If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets.

About the team

We're a close-knit, agile team that owns infrastructure monitoring for OIS within Amazon Robotics and ships to a worldwide operational fleet. We care deeply about the craft of software and foster each other's growth. Our vision centers on delivering reliable, intelligent monitoring that helps operators grasp their infrastructure at scale. You'll work with product and operations stakeholders to turn complex monitoring challenges into simple, elegant solutions. We're excited to welcome someone who align with our standards for well-architected software and collective problem-solving.
