You'll have ownership, not just responsibility; and you'll define and execute processes to deliver both savings and productivity for AWS and Amazon. Above all, our people matter – you will be part of a diverse, highly committed and collaborative team!
Key job responsibilitiesAn SDE on the team is required to understand our software, deliver major improvements and features that meet critical business needs, and to support our systems operationally. The code developers deliver must be highly maintainable and available, as our systems are pivotal to the availability of AWS. SDEs are expected to become subject matter experts on the technology operated by the team with a rich knowledge of systems, how they work, and what business use cases they were designed to address. Finally, developers must always be finding new ways to improve our systems. Developers on the team are full stack engineers required to be able to work with low level Linux and network components, as well as much more abstract technologies, like micro services and websites.
A day in the lifeYou will work with a team of highly skilled software development engineers. Your day will consist of attending Agile/SCRUM ceremonies, deep diving into sprint tasks, delivering quality documents, designs and code. You will provide feedback to your peers on their code reviews, and be a subject matter expert in what the team owns. You contribute to operational support of the teams' stack, and support customers internal to AWS.
