Amazon Software Development Engineer II, Enterprise Engineering in Seattle, Washington
Description
We are seeking a versatile Software Development Engineer II to join our AppSense team. AppSense is our innovative software management platform that provides visibility and control across all applications used within our large enterprise. In this role, you will contribute to expanding AppSense from managing a discrete set of applications to a comprehensive software auto-discovery platform. You'll work with a diverse tech stack including React, Java, Python, and AWS services to build scalable solutions that optimize software costs and usage across the organization.
Key job responsibilities
• Develop and enhance core features of AppSense using Java for backend services and React for frontend interfaces
• Contribute to the design and implementation of our AI-powered software discovery and categorization engine using Python and machine learning libraries
• Build and maintain integrations with various software applications using a combination of Java and Python, leveraging AWS services for data processing and storage
• Develop data processing pipelines using AWS services such as Lambda, Step Functions, and EMR to handle software activity insights and cost optimization algorithms
• Collaborate with product managers and UX designers to create intuitive React-based interfaces for complex data visualization, such as software portfolio insights and utilization dashboards
• Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions across our full stack to ensure high-quality, maintainable code
• Assist in the development of automated workflows for license management and contract renewals, utilizing AWS services like SQS and EventBridge
• Contribute to the implementation of security and compliance features for discovered applications, ensuring adherence to AWS best practices
A day in the life
Your day might begin with a team standup, where you discuss progress on the new software auto-discovery feature. You then spend time coding, perhaps implementing a new algorithm to categorize discovered applications based on their usage patterns.
In the afternoon, you could collaborate with a data scientist to integrate a new cost optimization model into the AppSense dashboard. This involves working with large datasets and ensuring the feature performs well at scale.
Later, you might attend a cross-functional meeting with procurement and IT teams to understand their requirements for the contract management module you're developing. You'll use this input to refine your technical approach.
You might end your day by reviewing a colleague's pull request for a new API endpoint that will be used to integrate with a popular SaaS application, ensuring it meets the team's coding standards and security requirements.
