Job Description

DESCRIPTION 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. We are designing and delivering software at Amazon scale to manage and upgrade the AWS network—a large part of what makes up the global internet. Our team is responsible for the end-to-end deployment of all changes to configurations, operating systems, and other artefacts that run the Amazon network, encompassing millions of network devices worldwide. We design, author, and vend the software infrastructure ourselves to safely, reliably, predictably, and quickly roll out changes to the fleet. Humans make mistakes, so despite the size and complexity of our problem space, we feel it’s important that our solutions be simple and use as little human interaction as possible. We are searching for software engineers who thrive writing distributed software systems that work at immense scale, who have a passion for elegant software written with the highest standards in mind, and who believe in a customer-driven approach to system. We are a group of engineers that value diverse perspectives, collaborate freely, and believe we should help each other succeed (and fail) as a team. We love to learn and take ownership for our work, and we think you probably do too. As a member of our team, you will have opportunities to stretch your skills, whether that means resolving deep algorithmic knots in our backend services or designing a better user experience for our technical users. We are often the first team to do what we do: there’s no StackOverflow article for that! Key job responsibilities Write clean, maintainable and efficient code to develop scalable software solutions. Drive system designs and make design decisions considering the trade-offs. Finding innovative solutions to complex technical challenges. Working with cross-functional teams across many time zones. Mentoring junior engineers and conducting code reviews. Participating in on-call rotations. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience. 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience. Experience programming with at least one software programming language. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience. Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent. #J-18808-Ljbffr
