The role
From Amazon's own posting.
We are seeking an exceptional Sr. Software Development Engineer to build and scale edge machine learning compute, equipment monitoring, and computer vision capabilities across our global fulfillment network.
Our landscape is global and complex, spanning diverse software systems, industrial machines, and protocols. We continuously innovate on behalf of the customer by building custom hardware and software technology solutions.
As a lead on this team, you will develop edge-based solutions where the cloud meets the real world in the heart of our fulfillment centers. Your work will span multiple layers of the stack from low-level embedded Linux control systems to cloud-based platforms that interface with and manage fleets of real-world devices. You will collaborate closely with an inter-disciplinary team and external partners to drive product definition, execution, and testing.
Key job responsibilities
* Design and develop edge-based ML inference pipelines across Amazon's warehouse network
* Build and maintain edge services managing camera fleets at scale
* Architect solutions that operate reliably with intermittent or limited cloud connectivity
* Develop cloud platforms for fleet-wide observability, telemetry, and remote device management
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams — hardware, operations, applied science — to ship new capabilities
* Mentor junior engineers and help shape the team's engineering culture
A day in the life
On a typical day as an OneMHS Sr. SDE, you might:
* Debug why an ML inference pipeline is dropping frames on a specific edge device SKU
* Design a sync strategy for camera fleet data that gracefully handles connectivity loss
* Prototype a new telemetry dashboard to surface device health across hundreds of sites
* Pair with an applied scientist to optimize a computer vision model for edge deployment
* Review a teammate's PR for a new device provisioning workflow
* Dig into logs from an Outpost to troubleshoot why a fleet update didn't propagate
