Developers everywhere rely on Amazon Web Services for storage, compute, and virtualized services, and our success depends on world-class network and server infrastructure operating at massive scale with rapid integration of emerging technologies. We're looking for a Senior System Development Engineer to develop automated test systems for the networking products that form the building blocks of Amazon's cloud infrastructure. AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure — in other words, we keep the cloud running. We support every AWS data center and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that give our customers continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the hardest problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain, and we're looking for talented people who want to help solve them. You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, and operations managers. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to deliver the highest standards of safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers — all within an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion. As a Senior System Development Engineer in Networking, you'll have a unique opportunity to shape the development of our network — a fundamental contributor to the success of AWS that lets us scale existing services and launch new ones. The Release Engineering and System Test organization owns end-to-end, system-level qualification of platforms and OS, the final gate before software is released to production. In this role, you'll build autonomous test systems that qualify new platforms and releases at scale. This is a hands-on builder role at the intersection of software engineering, test infrastructure, and network systems. You'll develop production-quality automated test systems, integrate them with lab and orchestration services, and drive the reliability, efficiency, and operability of the qualification pipeline that every release depends on. You'll relentlessly improve the stability of the existing network by developing test automation for new hardware and software platforms, working closely with our Network Engineering teams to understand features and technical implementation and to build test suites that emulate real-world environments. The ideal candidate has spent time in a similar role. Experience with industry-leading automation and CI/CD tools and with IXIA traffic generators (or similar) is a distinct advantage. You strive for simplicity and demonstrate significant creativity and high judgment. Your expertise is both deep and broad — you're hands-on, producing detailed technical work as well as high-level systems architecture. ### Key job responsibilities - Design, build, and maintain automated test systems that scale across platforms and network roles and operationalize qualification suites in CI and nightly regression pipelines - Integrate test systems with lab infrastructure and orchestration services for device lifecycle management - Own the reliability and maintainability of your components — eliminate flakiness, drive down qualification runtimes, and continuously improve the reliability of the test systems - Show creativity and initiative to improve product test coverage and effectiveness - Debug complex, cross-layer failures spanning test infrastructure, software, hardware and and drive root-cause analysis - Partner with software, hardware and networking teams release engineering teams to simulate complex real world network designs - Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring of junior engineers. ### About the team Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses. We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. ### Diverse Experiences AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying. Why AWS? ### Inclusive Team Culture Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness. ### Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 30, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 11, 2026 - Listed for: 11 days - Location: US, CA, Cupertino[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10565485/senior-system-development-engineer-aws-networking-system-test-release-engineering-and-system-test) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [ASIC Engineer I, Annapurna Labs, Early Career - 2027](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/b4e836db812eaa0f5c35/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [ASIC Engineer Intern, Annapurna Labs - 2027](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/2c76c408eaf21101d91c/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [Cloud HW engineer, SI/PI, Network Product Development - Optics](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/9837f434be95bf8d689a/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [Embedded SDE II, Hardware Engineering Services](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/0896ff179d50c45e6931/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [Hardware Dev Engineer, OEM Solid State Drives Team](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/7b5de8d4b2b4ba487337/) US, CA, Cupertino ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Fire Control System/Aegis Weapon System (AWS) Technical Trainer Sr](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/26b4c4a0c95d0f3130e4/) Lockheed Martin · Dahlgren, VA ### [SCSTC Aegis Weapon System (AWS) Aegis Computer Network Technician (ACNT) Trainer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/db457e19b8f122393b77/) General Dynamics · Dahlgren, VA, US ### [System Test Development Intern (Missile Focus), Summer 2027](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/169485581eb702bc5a1f/) BAE Systems · Rockville, Maryland, United States ### [Lead Software Engineer - AWS/SRE Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/jpmorganchase/jobs/b82e6943190d67b8219e/) JPMorganChase · OH, United States [Jobs in Cupertino, CA](/locations/us/ca/cupertino/)[Jobs in California](/locations/us-ca/)[Operations jobs](/functions/operations/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
