About The Position

Amazon's Source and Build Foundations team manages source control and build
systems for Amazon. As we embrace a world of continuous delivery, the number of
builds that we perform everyday is well into the millions. The Source and Build
Foundations Team is at the heart of shaping what is possible as we provide the
tools that are used daily by virtually every engineer at Amazon. The Source and
Build Foundations Team owns the tools that allow builders across Amazon to build
quickly and correctly. Our innovations and quality benefit Amazon builders who
in turn continue to delight Amazon's customers. Join this team to work on
distributed systems processing tens of millions of package builds every day.
This team manages critical services to build and release software at Amazon.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of
experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates
knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring
and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and
strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into
a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the
future.

As an SDE II, you'll solve challenging distributed systems problems at massive
scale with AI-native powered innovation. We're building next-generation systems
to be ready for AI native development at Amazon. We're looking for engineers who
thrive on making systems faster, more reliable, and more secure at Amazon scale.

We power Amazon's Brazil Build System - a Tier-1 platform processing 25 million
tasks daily across 12K hosts (384K cores). Every AWS and SDO engineer depends on
us to transform source code into deployment-ready artifacts.

Our stack: NeverBuildTwiceManager (NBTM) handles distributed task orchestration
with JournalDB transactions, optimistic concurrency. DockerBuildFleetNode
manages containerized build execution with sophisticated resource allocation and
real-time capacity management across the fleet.

The challenge: maintain 99.99% availability at massive scale while continuously
optimizing performance, mitigating risks, and solving complex distributed
systems problems. Your code directly impacts thousands of developers and
Amazon's deployment velocity.
