Job description

Software Development Engineer II, AWS QuickSight

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Amazon QuickSight powers data-driven organizations with unified business intelligence (BI) at hyperscale. With QuickSight, all users can meet varying analytic needs from the same source of truth through modern interactive dashboards, pixel-perfect reports, embedded analytics, and natural language queries.

We are looking for a full stack engineer with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for delivering creative solutions for complex problems on an unprecedented scale. In this role, you will build experiences, services, and tools for Amazon QuickSight. This role offers wide scope, autonomy, and ownership. The ideal candidate will bring deep technical and leadership experience to work with a team of rock star engineers to drive multi-year design and architecture decisions. In this role, you will make a worldwide impact on how our customers around the world analyze and visualize data. If this sounds like a project you’ve been working towards and would like to deliver, please contact us today, and let’s talk about how you can be a part of it.

Software Engineers at Amazon partner with customers, stakeholders, product managers, and designers to define and execute product goals. You challenge yourself and others to constantly come up with better solutions. You're a thought leader, but you don't just know how to solve the problem; you prove it by building the solution. Last but not least, you have a high bar for code quality and a passion for design and architecture.

Key job responsibilities

In this role, you will:

1. Help define architecture, own and implement specific components, and help shape the overall experience.
2. Contribute to defining best practices.
3. Contribute to planning, design, implementation, testing, operations, and process improvement as a member of an autonomous team.
4. Take responsibility for technical problem-solving, creatively meeting product goals, and developing best practices.
5. Mentor and support the growth of other developers.

If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

Why AWS?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empowers us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Work/Life Balance

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

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