Job description

Software Dev Engineer II, Managed AWS Global Expansion

Job ID: 10557064 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

C2 Catalyst is the team responsible to build one of Earth's largest distributed systems - EC2 - at scale. We own the software and tooling to build the foundation of the cloud in new Regions and Availability zones and our team is growing to support a senior leadership strategic initiative.

AWS is the industry leader in Cloud Computing. We enable our customers to dynamically scale their computing capacity as needed. Their sky is the limit! You will have the opportunity to implement tooling that interacts with a broad set of EC2 services ensuring we can build one EC2 at scale. We create the tools needed to deploy new EC2 in a fully automated fashion with zero human touch. This work requires innovative solutions for managing complex large scale deployments including configuration, service migration, dependency detection and management and more.

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn't about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it's about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. 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. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don't get paged for the same issue twice.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Basic 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
• 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
• 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services, using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
• 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• 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
