You will work with the languages and libraries that power Amazon's services, making them easier to use and more reliable. You will help maintain our build tools, compilers, libraries and frameworks. You will shape how OSS upstream projects are developing, including contributing to them directly yourself. You will collaborate with engineers across Amazon to understand their pain points and build tools, libraries and frameworks that address them. You will write code, review code from teammates, and help others debug issues with our tools.

A day in the life

Your work will directly affect how builders at Amazon do their jobs. We are a language expertise team at the heart of being able to compile and shift software.
