Job Information
Amazon Software Development Engineer, AWS-Kumo in Bellevue, Washington
Description
Have you ever dreamed of shaping the way the best cloud provider on earth does business? Our teams are re-inventing how AWS Trusted Advisor offers best practices and recommendations to AWS customers to ensure they are operating their cloud environment secure, operationally sound, and are spending their money wisely. We are re-architecting the Trusted Advisor rule engine and the best practice processing services to be endlessly scalable, highly available, and handle diverse set of integrations with minimal developer involvement. These services will support anything from batch calls at AWS cloud scale to an immediately responsive UI to millions of API requests per day from our customers. You will be part of the team that owns the execution of that plan, delivering applications incrementally for your customers by obsessing over their needs. You will need to be able to evaluate and evolve the technology as the cloud around them evolves, and be ready to invent new ways of solving exciting new challenges every day.
As part of the team, you will have opportunities to mentor and coach other engineers. You will have access to Amazon’s Principal and Senior Engineers to help you on this new journey and grow your skills. By joining early on, you will get to influence the design choices. Do you like Python over Java or prefer Node.js to Ruby? This is your chance to make the business value case for the best technology to build with before it becomes entrenched in "what we use" or "how we do things."
As a developer working on AWS Kumo team, you will get firsthand experience interacting across all AWS services such as AWS EC2, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis and more. You will be surrounded by people who are extremely smart and passionate about cloud computing. Our work has an impact across all AWS customers!
