Job description

Overview

AWS Deadline Cloud is transforming how the Media & Entertainment industry renders content at scale. Launched in 2024, our service is rapidly evolving to meet growing customer demands. We're looking for engineers who are excited about service development, client software, and open source to help us expand our capabilities, improve customer experience, and scale our service to support new use cases and integrations.

Work/Life Harmony

Our team puts a high value on work-life harmony. We are distributed across Seattle, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. We try to keep core availability hours from 10am to 4pm, and we have our fair share of early birds and night owls, so there is almost always someone available to chat, help or answer questions.

On-Call Responsibility

This position involves on-call responsibilities. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant and that our alarms are well calibrated. Every week we review our operations as a team and audit our mechanisms to make it easier for our engineers and better for our customers. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause.

Mentorship & Career Growth

Developing our people is celebrated as part of our team culture. We are dedicated to supporting each other, and you will get plenty of opportunities to share your unique knowledge and to mentor others. We believe that developing others is an integral part of developing yourself and we have a very diverse collection of backgrounds, levels of experience, and Amazon tenure to support this. Our engineers enjoy growing others through one-on-one mentoring and constructive design and code reviews.

Inclusive Team Culture

Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Yes, we do get to work on a really cool service, but we also think a big reason for that is the inclusive and welcoming culture that we cultivate every day.

We’re looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we’ve been building.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience


• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience


• Experience programming with at least one software programming language


• 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
