Do you love decomposing problems to develop products that impact millions of people around the world? Would you enjoy identifying, defining, and building software solutions that revolutionize how businesses operate?
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. Come build the next generation of Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) @ AWS! Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Networking team gives customers the ability to build secure, scalable, resilient and highly available VPCs. The domain is networking, but it’s all about software. We’re delivering software defined networks at scale. To learn more, check us out at https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/. We are re-engineering our VPC distribution plane as part of Amazon’s initiative to get EC2 performance to be as close as possible to that of on-premise bare metal.
We are looking for software development engineers that are passionate about creating application software that underpin the fabric of the EC2 cloud. We are engaged in every part of the software development lifecycle from defining new features to testing them. On a typical day, our engineers use everything from modern day programming languages like Java/Rust/etc for application development, Ruby/Python/etc for automation, MySQL/Redis/JournalDB/RocksDB/etc. for high performance, low latency backends and a host of internal to Amazon tools. We don’t expect you to be an expert in, or necessarily even be familiar with these technologies listed, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them!
