About The Position

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is storage for the Internet. Through the use
of pioneering techniques in distributed computing, developers are able to
durably store their data on Amazon’s proven computing infrastructure to achieve
virtually limitless storage capacity at minimal cost. Amazon S3 provides a
simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount
of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to
the same highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure
that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to
maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

Our team is clearly passionate about the incredible opportunity that Amazon S3
presents and about distributed systems in general. You will have the opportunity
to deliver high quality technology products/services in a hyper-growth
environment delivering AWS and S-Team level goals. You will be able to utilize
your experience in building, managing, and mentoring engineering teams, while
building, operating or using web-based services.

A Software Development Engineer in this role will be responsible for designing
features and components, upholding best practices and quality standards,
delivering high quality engineering solutions and code. You will work daily with
other talented engineers and leadership, across S3 and our partners in other AWS
organizations to prioritize the right solutions for the long-term success of S3
and AWS storage health. You will mentor junior engineers, contribute to
developing and delivering multi-year organizational roadmaps focused on the
technical and customer solutions necessary to support our ongoing customer
growth and platform diversity.

We are an organization focused on designing, building and supporting critical
new services. Our team works to focus on current and future operational health
while iterating quickly in an exciting and hugely impactful space, giving the
opportunity to work with experienced Amazonians across AWS. Our leaders are
focused on providing a supportive, inclusive environment with excellent
opportunities for growth.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred
qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates
to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

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

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

workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
