Join our team as a Software Development Engineer (SDE II), where you'll build and enhance management console experiences that help AWS customers optimize their cloud infrastructure and costs at scale. Our team owns critical EC2/VPC console workflows that enable customers to efficiently manage their network and compute resources - tools that directly impact how organizations run their workloads on AWS.
As an SDE II, you'll focus on creating exceptional frontend experiences using modern web technologies like React and TypeScript. You'll work across the full development lifecycle - from collaborating with service teams and UX designers on feature requirements, to implementing scalable, accessible, and performant user interfaces, to ensuring operational excellence through monitoring and automation. Your work will directly impact how millions of AWS customers interact with their cloud infrastructure daily.
We're looking for engineers who are passionate about crafting intuitive user experiences, writing clean and maintainable code, and want to own problems end-to-end. You'll have the opportunity to influence our roadmap, mentor team members, and drive technical decisions that shape the future of AWS Console experiences. If you're excited about building high-impact customer-centric solutions and want to work in an environment that values predictable performance, rapid iteration, and creative problem-solving across organizational boundaries, this is the place for you.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
You start your day reviewing performance dashboards for consoles used by millions of customers every week. You pick up a feature — maybe a new VPC workflow or an VPC configuration screen — and own it end-to-end: scoping with product and UX, building it in React and TypeScript, shipping it to production, and monitoring it across all AWS regions. You're creating new agentic experiences using top-tier AI tools like Amazon Q and Kiro, enabling customers to accomplish complex infrastructure tasks through natural language. You pair with teammates, review code, and drive design decisions that shape how the world interacts with AWS. Development cycles move in weeks, not years — and your work is live in front of customers before the week is out.
