Software Development Engineer Required – Apply Now. DESCRIPTION

Change the way the world sees the Cloud!

Come join a team that builds and manages services that are core to the life-cycle of EC2 instances. We build and evolve software which operates at scale to support mission-critical cloud-based applications built by AWS customers. We’re looking for people who like solving challenging problems of scale and availability, with a demonstrated capacity for technical leadership, while meeting business goals.

You’ll get to build services that are critical to the operation of EC2 and ensuring that customers have the highest quality experience. The position is fully focused on micro services which expose APIs, making effective use of modern programming languages to achieve optimal results.

Work/Life Balance
We work hard to ensure that our team members are able to strike the balance between the responsibilities we have as a team and meet our commitments to customers. Our goal is to create and maintain a sustainable pace knowing that we are working with teams across multiple time zones.

On-Call Responsibility
Our teams subscribe to a DevOP’s model and are responsible for all aspects of the services that are in production serving customer needs. Knowing that there is much to learn, the expectation for a new team member is to join the oncall rotation as soon as they feel comfortable operating the services that the team is responsible for. The new team member will shadow more experienced engineers to gain confidence and know-how during the initial ramp. Knowing the impact of an operational event both to our customers but also for the team, we work hard to put measures in place to prevent and avoid these events.

Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. The team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge and is inclusive. Team members are encouraged to mentor and coach less experienced members to ensure we grow and develop our ever evolving. Team members take extra care to assist new members to realize their full potential and growth.

We care about your career growth. We try to assign projects and tasks that would be best suited to an engineer to display their strengths. We work closely with each engineer on improvement areas and ensure steady growth to take on more complex/challenging tasks in the future.

Inclusive Team Culture
Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Yes we do get to build really cool services, but we also think a big reason for that is the inclusive and welcoming culture we try to cultivate every day. We’re looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we’ve been building.
