Sr. Software Development Engineer, AWS Insights & Optimizations

Description

The AWS Analytics & Machine Learning team, within AWS Billing and Cost Management, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to drive innovation in how AWS customers manage their cloud spending. Our focus is on a massive data analytics and processing engine that transforms billions of usage records into real-time cost intelligence, complemented by APIs and AI agents that predict, detect anomalies, and automate cost-saving actions.

Every AWS customer relies on the accuracy and timeliness of our data to make critical financial decisions. Ensuring the data is reliable at scale, at low latency, and at low cost is central to our mission. You will be responsible for architecting the data pipeline, designing APIs, and developing AI-driven capabilities like forecasting and anomaly detection. You will also lead the strategic direction of these technologies, working closely with scientists and product managers to bring innovative features to market.

Key job responsibilities

• Architect the data analytics and processing platform at AWS scale — high-volume ingestion, transformation, and aggregation of billions of usage records at low latency and cost.
• Design the API surface that exposes cost intelligence programmatically, built agent-first so AI systems and customers can consume the same capabilities.
• Lead GenAI-driven capabilities — forecasting, anomaly detection, and autonomous remediation — grounded in the data and feedback loops your platform produces.
• Set the long-term technical vision and translate it into shippable bets that compound over years, not quarters.
• Lead by example, establishing a high bar for engineering and operational excellence.
• Coach and grow a team of engineers with diverse backgrounds and strengths.
• Partner with Applied Scientists and PMs to take analytics, ML, and GenAI features from idea to production

About the team

We are a collaborative, high-ownership group within AWS Insights & Optimizations, building at the heart of AWS cost management — the services every customer uses when setting budgets, receiving anomaly alerts, or forecasting their spend. We are entrepreneurial, we experiment relentlessly, and we welcome dissent with respect and thoughtful debate as we seek the best ideas. This is a unique opportunity to work on data and intelligence problems that matter to every AWS customer and to lead the category's reinvention.
