As a System Development Engineer II at Amazon, you will own the engineering and operational health of critical systems, driving improvements that make them more resilient, cost-effective, and easier to maintain. You will tackle complex problems where the business need is clear but the path forward requires your creativity and technical judgment. From diagnosing thorny production issues to designing automation that eliminates toil, your work will directly improve the experience for both your team and our customers. If you thrive on solving real problems, writing clean and maintainable code, and leaving systems better than you found them, we want to hear from you.\nKey job responsibilities\n- Design and deliver technology solutions that improve system resilience, performance, and maintainability, balancing tradeoffs across scalability, security, and cost.\n- Identify and resolve complex operational issues through thorough root cause analysis, implementing permanent fixes that prevent recurrence and reduce support burden.\n- Build automation and tooling that streamline repetitive processes, improve deployment confidence, and increase your team's agility and velocity.\n- Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and post-incident analyses, providing constructive feedback and coaching peers on engineering and operational best practices.\n- Collaborate with partner teams to assess system dependencies, clarify architectural responsibilities, and apply improvements that benefit the broader organization.\nA day in the life\nYou start your day reviewing system health dashboards and metrics you helped build, quickly identifying any anomalies worth investigating. You might spend the morning pairing with a teammate on a code review, then shift to designing an automation solution that eliminates a recurring manual process. Afternoons could involve a post-incident review where you help the team uncover contributing causes and propose long-term fixes. You regularly connect with engineers on partner teams to align on shared system interfaces and ensure your solutions integrate smoothly.\nAbout the team\nOur team is focused on building and operating reliable, scalable systems that serve Amazon's customers around the world. We value collaboration, clear communication, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
