you excited by the prospect of helping to build and run the world's
largest cloud computing infrastructure?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

planet; providing companies of all sizes with an infrastructure web
services platform in the cloud. With AWS, customers provision compute

demands them. To meet the growing demand for AWS Services around the

cloud computing, believe that first class service is critical to
customer success, and are committed to improvement.
Key job
responsibilities
Amazon has a collaborative, purposeful and
enthusiastic environment where we "Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History."
On a typical day engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer
issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult
with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to
automate operational issues.
A software engineer at Amazon will
have technical ownership of designs and services, and will influence
good coding practices among peers. Responsibilities will include
designing, coding, reviewing, testing, fixing, researching, deploying
and maintaining services and code in Amazon cloud production
environments. Successful candidates will be experienced software
engineers who can prioritize well, are good team players, develop at a
high standard, can deal with new and ambiguous problem domains, and
have a consistent track record of delivery.
A day in the life
At
Amazon our software engineers take ownership of solution design, turn
it into code and deliver it on schedule, using appropriate
technologies and current software engineering best practices. They are
expected to collaborate with their team and across teams to take
responsibility for improvements and building of new tooling, features,
services and applications.
Amazon software engineers have the
responsibility of building, maintaining and running the software they
own including the dependencies of their team's software, hardware
platform, operating system and build. They may also be part of an
on-call rotation within their team and, in the event of problems, are
able to troubleshoot, research the root cause and thoroughly resolve
defects.
