Job description

Software Development Engineer, Elastic Block Store (EBS), AWS (L5), EBS Stats

Job ID: 10499845 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is looking for experienced software development engineers to help us build the future of cloud storage. EBS provides high-performance virtualized storage for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and is a key building block for many applications, from databases to distributed file systems and Hadoop clusters. As a member of the EBS team, you will have ownership over the design, implementation, and operation of one of the largest distributed systems in the world. You will work closely with a tight, agile team that delivers features continuously, and you will be able to see the impact of your work on real customers!

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, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

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 empower 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.

Mentorship and Career Growth

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.

Diverse Experiences

Key job responsibilities

You will have opportunities to develop software on the latest platforms and drive the roadmap for the next generation of compute instances. You will have an immediate impact on millions of customers, driving down latencies and improving the AWS customer experience. You will be surrounded by world-class technical talent, who are incredibly passionate about AWS and our product. You will gain top-notch experience in cloud computing.

A day in the life

As an SDE II, you will be involved in all parts of a software developer lifecycle - including software & system designing, coding, troubleshooting, testing, doing code reviews, testing, deployment and service maintenance. You will play an active role in all team meetings & discussion, leading project initiatives, influencing team's long term vision & strategies, partnering up with senior engineers and Stats customers.

Be a part of the team whose mission is to enable our customers to quickly and effectively generate both strategic and operational cross-cutting insights from fleet telemetry in self-service manner, and to deliver performance and health insights directly to EBS customers. We do this by owning and operating high throughput and distributed systems ingesting and processing petabyte of data in real-time with sub-minute latency to allow the EBS and broader AWS teams to ingest, transform, publish, query and visualize petabyte scale fleet telemetry data, and feed their data into standard monitoring tools.

On-Call Responsibility

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every three 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.

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.

About the team

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 that help our team members develop your engineering expertise so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future.
