System Development Engineer II, Data Center Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE)

The Systems Development Engineer (SysDev) within Data Center Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE) is responsible for developing automation monitoring and analytics solutions to support Amazons global IT infrastructure within Fulfillment Centers (FCs). This role focuses on building scalable software systems infrastructure automation and datadriven insights to enhance the reliability efficiency and performance of Amazons power cooling and structured cabling infrastructure.

SysDevs collaborate closely with DCIE Engineers (electrical mechanical telecom and general) TPMs and DCIO Engineers to develop custom tools dashboards APIs and automation frameworks that improve realtime monitoring predictive maintenance and operational scalability.


Key job responsibilities
Infrastructure System Development & Automation

Develop custom automation tools to manage and optimize power HVAC and structured cabling infrastructure across Amazon FCs.
Build scalable APIs microservices and integration solutions to streamline infrastructure monitoring and control.
Create automated deployment frameworks for configuring provisioning and managing critical infrastructure components.
Collaborate with TPMs and DCIE Engineers to enhance infrastructure standardization through codedriven deployments.

Monitoring & Data Analytics

Design and implement realtime dashboards for power monitoring HVAC performance and network infrastructure health.
Develop data analytics pipelines to process and analyze infrastructure telemetry supporting predictive maintenance and anomaly detection.
Work with DCIM teams to integrate asset tracking power consumption metrics and infrastructure lifecycle insights.
Use machine learning and AIdriven analytics to identify trends prevent failures and optimize resource allocation.

Operational Support & Incident Response

Automate incident detection alerting and response workflows to minimize downtime and improve infrastructure reliability.
Support Sev1/Sev2 incident response developing automated troubleshooting and remediation tools for infrastructure failures.
Work with DCIO Engineers to enhance oncall operations through softwaredefined automation.
Participate in postincident reviews (PIRs) implementing softwaredriven solutions to prevent recurrence.

Infrastructure Integration & Standardization

Develop and maintain OpenDCIMbased systems to track power cooling and network infrastructure assets.
Create tools to enforce compliance with Amazons infrastructure standards reducing manual audits and deployment errors.
Support integration of FaultManaged Power (Project Constellation) Fiber Media Conversion (Project OptiBridge) and Split CT Power Monitoring solutions into automated workflows.

Collaboration & Process Improvement

Partner with TPMs to define software solutions for infrastructure lifecycle management remediation projects and scalability initiatives.
Work with DCIE Engineers to implement selfhealing infrastructure capabilities through automation and AIdriven insights.
Continuously improve developer operations (DevOps) and infrastructure automation practices within DCIE.

A day in the life
As an SysDev in DCIE youll begin your day reviewing infrastructure telemetry dashboards and overnight logs to identify anomalies or performance degradations across Amazon Fulfillment Centers. Youll then sync with Technical Program Managers (TPMs) and DCIE Engineers to prioritize active workstreams whether its scaling power monitoring pipelines deploying automation for HVAC lifecycle tracking or integrating new telemetry sources into the DCIM platform. Midday youll be codingwhether building out RESTful APIs refining predictive maintenance models or developing automation scripts for infrastructure deployment. Youll participate in design reviews contribute to PIRs and resolve automation or telemetryrelated blockers raised by oncall engineers. Your day ends with sprint planning or roadmap checkins driving progress on scalable selfhealing infrastructure systems that improve uptime efficiency and global visibility for thousands of Amazon sites.
