About Amit B.

Senior System Development Engineer at Amazon AWS with 15+ years of experience operating at the intersection of cloud software architecture and large-scale network infrastructure. I lead the design and delivery of AWS-wide, serverless orchestration platforms that automate network deployment, scaling, and data-center region builds used by Network Development Engineers globally.My work focuses on building high-leverage infrastructure systems—from Python SDKs and workflow engines to CI/CD and reliability tooling—that materially improve cost, reliability, and developer productivity. Recent impact includes ~$2M/month in AWS Lambda cost savings through architectural re-design and ~50% reduction in production workflow errors by shifting validation and failure detection earlier in the SDLC.I bring a rare blend of deep networking foundations (former CCIE-SP; BGP, MPLS, large ISP backbones) and modern cloud-native engineering, with hands-on experience across distributed systems, serverless architectures, Infrastructure-as-Code, and Operational Excellence. I enjoy working on ambiguous problems, going deep into system design details, and building scalable solutions that solve real business problems at global scale.

Experience

1. Senior System Development Engineer

   Amazon Web Services (AWS)

   Jul 2020 — Present · Denver, CO, US

   Led the architecture and implementation of an AWS-wide serverless Network Workflow Orchestration Service built on AWS SWF and Lambda, enabling Network Development Engineers (NDEs) to define end-to-end network scaling and data-center region build workflows using a Python SDK; used globally across AWS- Designed and implemented a high-level Python SDK providing clean abstractions for workflows, steps, and primitives, significantly reducing development time and lowering the barrier for engineers defining complex network automation- Re-architected a SWF-based orchestration platform by consolidating a multi-Lambda execution model into a single-Lambda (Docker container) environment, resulting in ~$500K/month/region Lambda cost savings (~$2M/month) and reduced operational complexity- Drove an org-level goal to improve reliability in AWS Isolated Networks (ADC) by architecting and implementing a build-time validation framework (executed during code review, packaging, and Brazil build time) to catch ADC-specific configuration and dependency issues early- Reduced Isolated network (ADC) workflow execution errors by ~50% by combining build-time validation with service probes built using AWS Fargate, CloudWatch, and CDK to continuously validate dependency health, authorization, and reachability- Led Operational Excellence (OE) initiatives by defining on-call processes, identifying noisy alarms, and building hierarchical CloudWatch dashboards and metrics providing aggregated, multi-region visibility into system health- Designed multi-tenant CI/CD pipelines allowing multiple internal customers to deploy independently without being blocked by a central pipeline, leveraging AWS ECS, SWF, and Amazon’s internal Brazil build system- Set engineering standards across the org (Git-based code reviews, test coverage, CI/CD, IaC with CDK) and actively mentored Network Development Engineers.
