AWS is looking to hire engineers to build and maintain systems that enable distributed consensus for locks, leader election, group membership, and work distribution across AWS. These systems are critical building blocks for services like S3, DynamoDB, and CloudWatch, and the role involves solving complex distributed systems challenges that impact services across AWS.
Requirements
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language
- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Knowledge of distributed computing environments
Responsibilities
- You work with the team to design, build, and operate systems that are stable, highly available, and performant.
- You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and architectural patterns.
- You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them (and when it is not).
- Your solutions are pragmatic navigating constraints.
- You create maintainable software without over-engineering.
- You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.
- You focus on operational excellence, understanding how decisions impact operational costs, and take on projects that make software easier to maintain.
Other
- Collaborate with talented peers to design and implement robust solutions, make critical architectural decisions, and ensure operational excellence.
- If you are excited about distributed systems engineering, with the opportunity to build and operate systems with impact across AWS services, this role is for you.
- Designing and driving technical decisions that balance competing priorities and constraints
- Working closely with dependent teams to enhance system capabilities and resolve technical challenges
- We are a team that believes in focused execution and collaboration.
