Amazon
Sr. Software Engineer - AWS Fargate
Amazon, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Description
Utility Computing (UC)
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.
The AWS Container Services organization is responsible for building and operating some of the core services that help customers run containerized microservices, including Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Fargate, Amazon ECR, and AWS App Mesh. We have an highly committed roadmap that seeks to redefine how our customers build their applications and run them at scale.
AWS Fargate is one of our big areas of investment. We are tasked with giving developers and operators simple yet powerful experiences that allow them to focus on their code and business needs without the need to become experts at the underlying container orchestration infrastructure. To achieve this vision, we are looking for a Software Engineer to both work on challenging technical problems and serve as a leader on the team, helping grow and mentor others. This is a great time to join a growing business and help influence what we can do for customers who are adopting serverless containers and all the benefits Fargate brings them.
If you are someone who is passionate about building high quality services, delighting developers, and have a passion for customers and developer relations, this job is for you. You will be joining a team with the charter to make containers the new compute primitive and the first choice when architecting modern applications. You will have the chance to be a part of defining how developers use containers at scale.
If you join our team, you will:
Obsess over your customers and deliver a first-class experience for them
Influence team’s long-term technical investments by making insightful contributions to team priorities and approach.
Actively coach or mentor multiple L4 and L5 engineers on the team to help them grow in their roles.
Take ownership of ambiguous problems and deliver solutions for them
Drive SDLC best practices leading by example working very efficiently, delivering frequently and incrementally.
Work closely with SDM's to scope projects and break them down into smaller, parallelizable work items.
Collaborate with, and build effective working relations with peers across various orgs and unblock AWS services.
