We are looking for an experienced software development engineer for the storage- and durability-focused data plane group that owns core EBS logic and contributes to a broad and strategic set of projects. You will be part of a team of engineers that develop and maintain the components enabling EBS storage and high durability. We consistently improve the performance and durability of EBS offerings, and we want you to be part of that charter!

A day in the life
You will collaborate with and learn from the industry's best minds to solve interesting and challenging problems at an enormous scale on a daily basis.
