Amazon Web Services Hiring for Software Development Engineer at Seattle, Washington Full Time

Description

In this role you will have the opportunity to build and expand Amazon’s core service frameworks, libraries and tooling for distributed service development. You will work directly with service owners in the business re-architecting and designing new services to take advantage of the latest AWS offerings. You will ensure that AWS services meet the evolving needs of enterprises at the largest scale.

You will have the opportunity to work across the company and build and expand Amazon’s Center of Excellence for AWS usage at Amazon. This will include documenting and evangelizing best practices, running efficiency programs and improving our operational efficiency year over year.

The ideal candidate for this role will have experience designing large-scale company-wide initiatives. You will need to be very good at dealing with ambiguity and driving to clarity. The ideal candidate will be able to have strong architectural skills and ability to make trade-offs in an ambiguous environment while working in a fast pace team.

AWS has the most services and more features within those services, than any other cloud provider–from infrastructure technologies like compute, storage, and databases–to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things.

Our 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. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Our team puts a high value on work-live balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
