Job Information
Amazon Software Development Engineer II, API Gateway in Seattle, Washington
Description
Amazon API Gateway is the front-door of the Serverless revolution that lets customers turn business logic into scalable, fault-tolerant production systems without being an expert in distributed systems, deployment technologies, and infrastructure management. API Gateway turns daunting tasks such as traffic management, authentication and authorization, monitoring and API versioning into easily configurable steps. It then helps companies to build their developer eco-systems and turns their data sets and business logic into new revenue streams.
Based in Seattle, the API Gateway Data Plane team is growing rapidly and is looking for talented Software Engineers who can help us continue to evolve the massively scalable and powerful services powering API Gateway’s data plane. If you are excited about cloud computing and architecting highly available and large-scale services used by millions of users, then join us in making the Serverless revolution ubiquitous.
As a member of the team, you will work with a group of talented, mission-focused colleagues to propose ideas and to design, build, and evolve production AWS systems. You will have the opportunity to talk with customers to understand their needs; you will see them adopt the technology you build; and you will use their feedback to inform future development. Depending on your interests, you may work on a broad range of technical problems spanning back-end distributed systems engineering, space and time optimization, or programming model design and implementation. Regardless of the path you choose, you will grow your skills, solve hard problems, and ship software to customers, learning from and mentoring others along the way.
If you are excited by the prospect of making it easy for developers to build and operate distributed systems, and are intrigued by any of the details above, please reach out – we would love to hear from you.
