What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Software Engineer, Infra Supply Chain Automation position at Amazon Web Services (AWS)?
Description
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Key job responsibilities
You'll architect, design, and implement federated and highly scalable distributed systems with high availability, low latency, and high throughput. You'll get the chance to use AWS' latest technologies to build and deploy enterprise-class products.
A day in the life
Do you enjoy building systems from the ground up? Are you passionate about setting standards for an AWS product in its early stages of development, as well as influence its architecture and product ideation? Do you like working with the newest native AWS technologies and developing systems that can grow to the AWS scale? As part of AWS Supply Chain Management Team, you'll be a key part of developing next-generation supply chain solutions, and you'll have the chance to design and create enterprise-class products from scratch.
As a Principal Engineer for AWS Capacity Delivery, you will spearhead the evolution of supply planning and fulfillment systems, providing technical leadership on high-impact challenges. You'll work closely with business stakeholders to understand long-term supply chain needs, design algorithms for risk management, demand forecasting, inventory optimization, and network planning.
Your focus will be on rigorously simplifying systems and processes to enhance AWS capacity delivery efficiency. You will architect complex supply chain solutions, make critical technical decisions, and evolve interfaces across partner systems and teams. You will balance technical excellence with business value while guiding the broader engineering organization.
