About The Position

AWS Training and Certification (T&C) is seeking a talented Software Development
Engineer to join our engineering team. Our mission is to accelerate cloud
adoption by helping millions of individuals and
organizations build and validate their AWS skills. The T&C platform powers
digital training, classroom delivery, practice exams, and certification programs
that serve learners across the globe — and you'll be at the center of building
the technology that makes it all possible.

In this role, you will design, develop, and operate distributed systems and
services that directly impact the learner experience. You'll own features
end-to-end, working across the full stack to solve complex
technical problems at scale. Whether it's improving content delivery, building
new learning workflows, or enhancing exam platforms, your work will be
customer-facing and high-impact from day one.

We're looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership, and is
passionate about building software that matters. You'll join a collaborative
team of engineers who value operational excellence, high-
quality code, and continuous learning. If you're excited about working on
systems that help people grow their careers and transform their organizations
through cloud technology, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to design, build, and operate
services that support the AWS Training and Certification ecosystem. You'll work
across the full stack, owning features end-to-end —
from requirements through deployment and operations. You'll collaborate with
product managers, UX designers, and partner engineering teams to deliver
solutions that delight learners worldwide.

The AWS Training and Certification (T&C) Engineering team builds and operates
the platforms and services that power AWS's global training and certification
programs. We help millions of learners develop cloud
skills through digital training, classroom courses, and certification exams. Our
systems operate at scale and directly impact how customers learn and validate
their AWS expertise.

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.

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.

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.

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.
