Job description

Overview

CloudTune's goal is to invent new software systems that remove human decision-making from financial planning and scaling processes. We envision CloudTune driving end-to-end automation that provisions Amazon's services appropriately for a great customer experience. We aim to eliminate vast quantities of undifferentiated and often tedious work for Amazon development teams - our opportunity for impact to tens of thousands of developers is enormous. The team develops large-scale scale models to inform team-level budget allocations and procurement/ allocation of compute capacity for Amazon businesses during new product launches, high velocity events and non-peak periods.

This role will be contributing to a managed service that uses historical data and business signals to deliver time series forecasting for specialized use cases. The service combines a variety of distinct forecasting models, including neural networks, to produce highly accurate forecasts. We are looking for talented software developers to design systems and services that will tackle increasingly complex challenges. These systems handle a very large volume of data that need to be processed by sophisticated algorithms, presenting challenging scalability, efficiency, and distributed systems design problems. Our team members also benefit from the mentoring and guidance of senior developers and have the opportunity to contribute to our product vision.

We are an agile team with significant impact. If you can think big, want to be a part of a fast moving team breaking new ground at Amazon.com, and you meet the qualifications, we would like to speak with you!

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and operate large-scale software systems and services that process very large data volumes and support time series forecasting for specialized use cases.
• Contribute to end-to-end automation of provisioning and compute capacity planning for Amazon businesses during product launches, high velocity events, and non-peak periods.
• Develop forecasting models, including neural networks, and integrate them into a multi-model forecasting service.
• Address scalability, efficiency, and distributed systems design challenges; collaborate with senior engineers and mentor less experienced team members.
• Work in an agile team environment and contribute to the product vision.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
