About the job
The AWS Data Center Engineering - BIM & AI Technologies team is pioneering the next generation of AI-powered design automation for AWS's global data center infrastructure. We're seeking an experienced Software Development Engineer to architect and deliver innovative solutions that transform how data center design documentation is created, updated, and reviewed at scale. As an SDE II on this team, you'll lead the design and implementation of novel generative AI applications that serve architects, engineers, construction managers, and facility operators. Working alongside software engineers, applied scientists, UX designers, product managers, and industry domain experts, you'll architect scalable production-ready systems that integrate BIM platforms, desktop applications, cloud services, and AI technologies to accelerate facility design workflows. This is an opportunity to learn about the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Ownership (AECO) industry while applying your software engineering skills to productionize ML models, mentor junior engineers, and solve complex design automation challenges for the building engineering and construction industry at an unprecedented scale.
Responsibilities
Design and architect scalable solutions for complex problems in the BIM and design automation space, balancing technical excellence with business impact
Lead the development of new features and services that deliver data center design projects faster while maintaining high quality standards
Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following software engineering best practices and establish coding standards for the team
Collaborate with applied scientists to productionize ML models for BIM and AECO applications, ensuring robust deployment and monitoring
Work closely with product, design, science, and AECO subject matter experts to deliver novel BIM and AI solutions
Design and implement integrations between BIM platforms (e.g., Autodesk Platform Services, Revit, etc.) and AWS services with focus on reliability and scalability
Implement human-in-the-loop (HITL) workflows that combine engineering expertise with AI automation, ensuring AI systems augment rather than replace professional judgment
Drive technical discussions and build consensus on architectural decisions within your team and across partner teams
Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing
Advocate for critical customers and stakeholders during team prioritization and planning, influencing roadmap decisions
Qualifications
Minimum
3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
2+ years of non-intternship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
Experience programming with at least one software programming language
Preferred
3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
Experience in practical work applying ML to solve complex problems
