Software Dev Engineer, AWS Firmware Services

Job ID: 2871969 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Are you an inventive software development engineer looking to grow your career with ownership of a highly visible, large scale, and big-impact service? Do you enjoy working in a fast paced environment where production pushes happen multiple times a week? Are you interested in solving complex business problems using AWS serverless architecture? The Business Operations Automation team is looking for a full stack software engineer to build and maintain services that automate business processes within AWS Hardware Engineering. This engineer will operate in an ambiguous environment, work to identify the business problem, and build services to solve complex customer use cases using AWS technologies such as Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, S3, CloudWatch, and more.
The ideal candidate for this role will be an innovative self-starter. You will work with engineers, TPMs, and PMs across the organization to deliver an amazing experience to your customers. AWS Engineers are shaping the way people use computers and designing the future of cloud computing technology – come help us make history

What you will do: You will be a member of the team that is developing a tool-set to increase the efficiency and operation of AWS Hardware Engineering. You will own features end to end including frontend, backend, database, and automated testing. You will recommend product improvements based on your experience and implementation of operational metrics that show what users are actually doing with our systems.
Why it matters: AWS Hardware Engineering designs, manufactures, qualifies, and tests all of the hardware that supports AWS massive and growing services. It is critical to have accessible, usable, and scalable internal tools that can increase the efficiency of these hardware deliveries.
Why you will love it: You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and the ability to deliver improvements for both organization executives and individual contributors. You will be part of a growing, fast paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work. You will see direct product improvements based on the results of your work.
