Whether its electronic content delivered to your home, technology that betters your remote working experience, allows you to plan travel to exotic places or simply get stuff delivered to your home. As a Software Development Engineer in S3, you get to deliver these capabilities and delight our customers through teams of talented engineers and leaders
S3 Data Plane team is looking for a passionate, experienced software engineer to build the next generation S3 services. Our software processes millions of requests per second and bandwidth measured in terabits per second. You will lead your peer engineers on the team to deliver high-quality and scalable software. You will drive innovation to build the next generation of software to handle our exponential growth. S3 is a highly available 7x24 worldwide service requiring dedicated support from our engineering teams. This means we hold a high bar for test automation, verification processes, design and code reviews to ensure that our systems meet the exacting standards our customers demand. We maintain a regular on-call rotation across our teams with engineers and managers all taking part to resolve the inevitable issues that arise. We work hard to minimize getting paged in the middle of the night as we recognize that a well-rested employee is a productive employee.
Upon joining S3, every employee is paired with a peer buddy who will help you to quickly come up to speed in understanding the technology we're building, the tools we use and the business problems we're trying to solve. We have a formal mentor search application that lets you find a mentor that works best for you based on location, job family, and job level. On our internal "Broadcast" video streaming website, you'll find countless presentations by some of the brightest minds in computing discussing solutions to many of the exciting problems we're solving in AWS today with new live-streaming videos added every week.
Creating a reliable, scalable, and flexible web service requires exceptional technical expertise, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of Computer Science, and practical experience building large-scale distributed systems.

Come join us and help solve a challenging set of problems in a space packed full of opportunities.

We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.
