Software Development Engineer – EC2, Managed Fleets
Come help us build automation that manages millions of hosts for Amazon.
The Managed Fleets team abstracts host and fleet management away from thousands of service teams across Amazon, freeing up engineers to build services and deliver value to our customers. We operate at scale and manage millions of hosts keeping them safe, secure, and efficient. To achieve this requires us to innovate and keep abreast with the latest cutting-edge technologies.
Key job responsibilities
On the Managed Fleets team, you will build innovative software that lets customers define the shape and size of their fleets and monitor the health and efficiency of how they are run. You will be using technologies like Java, Typescript, React, and Python as well as various Native AWS services and Amazon-internal tools. We don't expect you to be an expert in all these technologies, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them. As an experienced engineer in this team, you will play a committed role in developing high-quality software designs & solutions to our often complex problems.
This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically once every 6 weeks. We strive to keep this down and ensure our systems are fault-tolerant. Our team values work-life balance and respects each other's time.
A day in the life
A successful Software Development Engineer will have good design skills, an excellent ability to solve problems, good communication skills, and a desire to be a key technical contributor. The software you will be responsible for will require a breadth of technical development knowledge (i.e., distributed systems, synchronous API orchestration, scalability, availability).
Daily work will involve interacting with engineers, stakeholders, and managers. We are just starting to scratch the surface of the opportunity in front of us, and if this sounds like a place for you, come build with us and have Amazon-scale impact.
About the team
Our team supports each other in growing both personally and in our careers. We drive a high bar for quality via our design and code review processes. We also make time for social activities and to have fun at work.
