Description

This position can reside in Seattle WA

Are you the type of person who enjoys solving complex problems in the cloud? Do you enjoy making an impact at a massive scale and keeping millions of customers' data safe in the cloud? Are you obsessed with designing software that efficiently processes tremendous data volumes, and leveraging the technological breadth of AWS ? Do you want the adrenaline rush of protecting customers, and working with services in relation to detecting or implementing cloud protection? If this is you, then have we got an opportunity for you!

As a Software Engineer on the EC2 Substrate Operator Safety team, you will be building and developing brand new software systems. You will solve mission critical development and operations problems throughout the global presence for EC2. You’d design and own robust systems with cloud scale best practices. You’d leverage deep experience of running a critical service with zero downtime, eliminating scalability bottlenecks and monitoring in every dimension.

You would enjoy working closely with a peer group of highly talented engineers, and in an environment that encourages innovation, calculated risk taking and rapid decision making.

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.

Why AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.
