About The Position

Managing trillions of objects in storage, retrieving them in ms, building
software that deploys to tens of thousands of hosts, designed for 99.999999999%
durability. These are just a few of the numbers that give you a sense of the
scale of the exciting problems you will find every day working in Simple Storage
Service (S3). Amazon S3 powers businesses across the globe that make the lives
of consumers better daily. 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.

We are currently looking for talented software development engineers to lead
innovation in our Amazon S3 storage control plane team. Our team is passionate
about the incredible opportunity that Amazon S3 presents and about cloud
computing, in general. You will have the opportunity to deliver high quality
technology products/services in a hyper-growth environment where priorities
shift fast. As an SDE in S3's Storage team, you will build the services that persist and
retrieve customer data. The services you will own are the foundation of S3, and
managing them at the scale of S3 provides challenging technical problems that
you will solve. That scale provides leverage for your work to improve the
experience of many customers, and you will tackle some of the most difficult
problems in S3 head-on. You will be responsible for the design and
implementation of new components and improvements to services within our space, and will work with other engineers on your team to deliver.

A typical day for an SDE in S3 Storage is based around writing code and solving
problems at scale. On any given day, you may spend time delivering features and
fixing bugs, add testing to existing code, improve operational tooling,
collaborate with senior engineers to design new components that shape the future
of the system, and build expertise in specific areas of the service and grow to
be a subject matter expert in your domain.

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.

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