Job description

Description

Join us in building the next generation of distributed systems and database technologies to power AWS!

About AWS
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.

About Journal
Distributed systems such as Kinesis, S3, and DynamoDB need to durably and correctly commit customer writes at high scale and with high availability. For this, many such systems use Journal. Journal is a fault tolerant, high performance, durable log service. It offers an elegant solution to a complex, distributed systems problem. The challenges in building such a system stem with right durability, availability, resiliency, performance (microseconds matter), and scale (we commit in excess of 100 million transactions per second) at low cost.

We are seeking technical leader to join the team that builds Journal Control Plane services and automations at scale. Your responsibilities will include:
* Designing and developing novel, cutting edge, highly available, distributed systems software.

* Delivering quality features on-time and on-budget and executing against project plans and delivery commitments.

* Working with team members to manage day-to-day development activities, participating in designs, design reviews, code reviews, and implementation.

* Mentoring other engineers.

* Maintaining current technical knowledge to support rapidly changing technology, always being on the lookout for new technologies, and working with the team to bring in new technologies.

Candidate must be able to work with a minimum of technical supervision and supplemental engineering support, while responding efficiently to multiple program priorities. In addition, the role involves analyzing the latest technologies and development trends, establishing and implementing standard practices.

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

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.

If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

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.

AWS values curiosity and connection. Our employee-led and company-sponsored affinity groups promote inclusion and empower our people to take pride in what makes us unique. Our inclusion events foster stronger, more collaborative teams. Our continual innovation is fueled by the bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and passionate voices our teams bring to everything we do.

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.

- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
