Our platform handles a significant load of Internet traffic generated by internal and external customers that build their solutions on EC2. On any given day we use Java, Kotlin, Typescript, Python, Ruby, Go and C++ 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, but we do expect you to have strong programming fundamentals and be excited to learn about these technologies.
Our team invents, designs and builds software that is stable, scalable and performant. We write and support code that is easy to understand with solutions that are pragmatic. We keep a high bar in code reviews to ensure high quality code.
Engineers in our teams have great ownership, a drive to innovate and aim to have resounding impact in whatever we build.
As a member of this team, you will own and contribute to the development of quality designs & solutions, solving complex problems. You are able to operate with limited guidance and take a long term view of your team’s services and how they fit into the broader architecture. The services that your team own are used by many teams and you will have opportunities to work and influence engineers and teams outside of your own team to build out EC2 architecture that supports Amazon scale business needs.
We follow a DevOps model and we assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a more well rounded engineer that will enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future. This position includes on-call duties which is on rotation with the rest of the team. Our team values work-life balance.
As an Amazonian, you will enjoy interacting with some of the most talented engineers in our industry through breakfast talks and demos, internal communities and extensive training material that spans all aspects of our business.
We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, curious, empathic, motivated and reliable. The development opportunities are plentiful and we're only just starting to scratch the surface. If this sounds intriguing to you, then come build with us.
