Software Development Engineer - Developer Infrastructure, AWS EBS, EBS Server Agility

Amazon • Boston, MA

1d • $143,700 - $194,400 • Onsite

About The Position

If building secure systems that safely deploy server software to one of the world's largest storage services excites you, the EBS Server Agility team is the place to do it. Our team builds and operates the deployment and patching infrastructure that keeps EBS server software current and secure across 400,000+ bare-metal servers — infrastructure that serves millions of AWS customers and exabytes of data every day.

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to design and build core components of our deployment and patching systems — from automated security patching workflows to train deployment pipelines that safely roll out new server software across dozens of AWS regions with zero customer impact. You'll tackle complex problems involving safe deployment to stateful storage systems, automated rollback and canary analysis, manifest consistency, and secure autonomous server operations.

Server deployment at EBS sits in the critical path for security compliance and feature velocity. You'll work alongside senior engineers and principal engineers across EC2 and EBS, contributing to cross-service integrations that make server deployments safer and more efficient. If you want to build secure systems that deploy themselves at AWS scale, we'd love to talk to you.
