Across the industry, a large share of GPU capacity is paid for but never does useful work because jobs cannot find it, cannot share it, or cannot see it and use it efficiently. We build the services that closes that gap.\nWe are looking for a Software Development Engineer to help build the systems that put idle or inefficiently used GPUs to work. You will design and build distributed backend services that let organizations pool capacity across many clusters and accounts, route it to the workloads that need it most, and see exactly how it is being used. This is deep systems work at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems, container orchestration, and cloud infrastructure, and it directly changes how much value customers get from every GPU they pay for.\nYou will own services end to end, from design through launch and operation in production, and your work will ship to some of the largest AI compute customers in the world.\nKey job responsibilities\nDesign, build, and operate distributed backend services that manage and share accelerated compute across multiple clusters and accounts.\nBuild scheduling and capacity-sharing capabilities that move compute to the highest-priority workloads and reclaim it when priorities change.\nBuild zero-touch usage and guidance systems that collect, aggregate, and report how compute is consumed, at scale and in near real time.\nOwn your services in production: define operational metrics, respond to issues, and continuously improve reliability, latency, and cost.\nWrite clear design documents, participate in design and code reviews, and raise the engineering bar for the team.\nCollaborate with product, design, and partner engineering teams to turn customer problems into shipped features.\nMentor other engineers and contribute to a culture of ownership, quality, and customer focus.\nA day in the life\nMost days start with a short team stand-up, then it is mostly building. You might design a service that lets one cluster borrow idle capacity from another, then write it up for a design review where the team pokes holes in it before any code is written. Hard problems get their own deep-dive whiteboard session. Other days lean toward operations, chasing down why a workload did not get the capacity it should have. You will not be handed fully specified tasks; you will have the independence to help decide what to build, then build it.\nAbout the team\nWe help customers get the most out of the accelerated compute they pay for. Our mission is simple to say and hard to do: make sure every accelerator a customer pays for is doing useful work, and make that easy to see and control. Cost reduction is one important part of that, but the bigger idea is the engine that delivers compute to the workloads that need it most, in as little time as possible.\nOur customers run some of the largest AI training and inference workloads in the world, and they feel the impact of our work directly in how much they can do with their infrastructure. We care about depth, we own our work end to end, and we build in the open where we can.\nBasic qualifications\n- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience\n- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience\n- 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience\n- 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience\n- 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience\n- Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field\n- Experience programming with at least one software programming language\nPreferred qualifications\n- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience\n- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent\nAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.\nOur inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
