Software Development Engineer, EC2 Core Platform

6 months ago


Cape Town, South Africa Amazon Development Centre (South Africa) (Proprietary) Limited Full time
Come and join our creative team of software developers dedicated to EC2 and its customers. Join us in building the next generation Control Plane service that runs the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) web service.

Our service handles significant Internet traffic generated by both internal and external customers who build their own products and services using EC2. On any given day we use Java, Kotlin, Python, Ruby as well as various Native AWS services and Amazon-internal tools. We don't expect you to be an expert in, or know all these technologies listed, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them. As an experienced engineer in this team, you will play a committed role in developing high quality software designs & solutions to our exciting and often complex challenges.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members with a welcoming, inclusive approach. We are a team that strives to help each other grow in our careers through mentoring. We invent, design and build software that is stable and performant. We write and support code that is easy to understand, with solutions that are pragmatic. We do this by keeping a high bar in code reviews, which we take seriously. We believe good code reviews raise quality and serve as a mechanism to up-skill and instil high standards for growth.

We care about career growth. We follow a DevOps model and we try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a more well rounded engineer, to enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future. As an Amazonian, you’ll enjoy interacting with some of the most talented engineers in our industry through breakfast talks and demos, internal communities and extensive training materials that span all aspects of our business. Engineers in our teams have a strong sense of ownership, drive innovation and have resounding impact in how we develop and deliver software at such a large scale.

This position involves on-call responsibilities. This is typically once every 6 weeks. We don’t like to be paged unnecessarily and we strive to keep this down and ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. Our team values work-life balance and we respect one another’s time.

We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, curious, empathic, motivated and reliable. With cloud computing in its infancy, we are just starting to scratch the surface of the opportunity that lies before us. If this sounds like the place for you, we’d love you to come and build with us.

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

About AWS
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?
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.
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 (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Mentorship & Career Growth
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.
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.
