Software Development Engineer — OpenSearch Serverless

Amazon Web Services; Bellevue (WA); Vor Ort; USD 140.000 - 210.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Amazon OpenSearch Service is hiring a Software Development Engineer to design, implement, and operate a large-scale distributed control plane that manages OpenSearch clusters and services. You will tackle scale, reliability, and incident response while delivering high availability for mission-critical workloads.

The role involves building end-to-end solutions, collaborating with senior engineers, and using Java, Rust, Python, or Go across the lifecycle.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
• 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.
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language.

Aufgaben

• Design, develop, and operate components of a large-scale distributed control plane — reason about failure modes, multi-tenant isolation, and blast-radius before writing code
• Look for opportunities to simplify — consolidate duplicate abstractions, remove dead code, reduce configuration sprawl, and challenge complexity that doesn't earn its keep
• Treat operations as core engineering — own the systems you build end-to-end, participate fully in incident response and RCAs, and drive operational improvements that reduce cost and maintenance burden
• Solve real problems in cluster orchestration, capacity provisioning, lifecycle workflows, multi-tenant infrastructure, query routing, and operational tooling
• Use AI coding assistants and GenAI tools effectively across the software development lifecycle — from design and prototyping through coding, testing, code review, debugging, and operations — applying engineering judgment to validate AI-generated output against Amazon's correctness, security, and operational bar
• Write robust, efficient, and maintainable code in Java, Rust, Python, or Go
• Partner with senior engineers to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete deliverables; prototype, test, and validate
• Continually challenge what exists and explore what should change to better serve customers
