## About the Role

Software Development, Network Operations Center, Software Engineering, Network Operations Center, Supply Chain, Cloud Computing, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Safety Standards, Network Architecture/Engineering, Operations Management

## Description

As a Software Development Engineer, you will design, develop, and maintain complex software systems powering AWS Data Center industrial controls. Core responsibilities include:

 * Design and build scalable software that runs both on data center devices and in the cloud services that manage them
 * Integrate AI-powered development tools into daily workflows - using generative-AI coding assistants for rapid prototyping, AI-driven test generation for broader coverage, and ML-based anomaly detection to proactively identify production issues
 * Drive technical design decisions, author design documents, and lead code reviews with a focus on security, reliability, and operational excellence
 * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that leverage automated quality gates, intelligent deployment strategies, and AI-assisted release validation
 * Collaborate with product managers, hardware engineers, data center operations, and security specialists to translate requirements into production-ready solutions
 * Mentor junior engineers on software engineering best practices, including effective use of AI tools while maintaining code ownership and understanding
 * Continuously evaluate emerging technologies - particularly in AI/ML tooling, automation frameworks, and cloud-native architectures - and advocate for their adoption where they raise the team"s quality and velocity
 * Participate in on-call rotations and operational reviews, using data-driven insights to improve system availability and reduce mean time to resolution

A day in the life

Your main focus is building software that runs on physical equipment in data centers and in the cloud - you"ll design, code, and ship it end to end. You"ll work closely with hardware engineers, operations teams, and other developers to solve real problems together. AI-assisted tools are part of your daily toolkit - helping you prototype faster, write better tests, and review code more efficiently. Beyond your core work, you"ll mentor teammates, improve how the team builds software, and help shape where the engineering organization is headed next.

About the team

Cosmos, a team within Data Center Builder Tools, builds the services that provision, deploy, and update operating systems and firmware across devices in AWS data centers. We develop both cloud-based services and on-device agents that internal engineering teams and on-site operators rely on to manage the full device lifecycle. Our tools power the industrial controls systems running in data centers worldwide.
