Sr. Software Development Engineer, AlamedaJob ID: 2790573 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.
Do you think innovating for customers and providing NextGen solutions at Amazon Web Service (AWS) scale is interesting? Amazon is breaking new ground and changing the rules at Amazon Web Services (AWS) constantly. AWS is core at serving world's public cloud traffic, serving customers at ultra large scale, and this volume is growing exponentially every day. At Amazon/AWS, we take software applications and services to their limits. Due to our scale, we see issues that no other companies see. We are creatively and disruptively solving some of the most complex problems related to immense growth, scaling, leveraging the cloud, extremely high performance and high availability. If these types of challenges excite you, then this is the place for you.
You will be playing a key role at solving challenging problems in distributed systems, secure multi-tenancy, concurrency, scale, availability, durability, and performance engineering. Surrounded by world-class technical talent, building on a pure AWS infrastructure, you will translate user requirements, help define roadmap, design, develop, deploy, and test end-to-end. The team is stronger due to your presence, and you regularly contribute to the professional development of colleagues. You understand the business impacts of technical decisions and guide technology choices to create amazing experiences for customers. You will be working closely with leaders in the org to ensure your solution’s contract and functionality aligns with the broader objective.
This role requires ownership, autonomy, and an ability to deliver results, often within the ambiguity of building a new product. You will need to work efficiently to build the right things with limited guidance, and your experience will raise the bar to create an amazing experience for our customers.
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, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Key job responsibilities
Design and Direction Reviews for multiple products that the team owns
Planning and alignment with stakeholders including PEs
Deep dives into operational issues
Help with prioritization, sprint planning, backlog grooming
Our engineers collaborate across diverse teams, projects, and environments to have a firsthand impact on our global customer base. You’ll bring a passion for innovation, data, search, analytics, and distributed systems. You’ll also:
Solve challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
Build high-quality, highly available, always-on products.
Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.
A day in the lifeAs you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:
Build high-impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.
About the teamOur team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge-sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.
