Description
By applying to this position, your application will only be considered for Software Development Engineer (SDE) roles in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Data Services organization.
Do you want to solve real customer problems through innovative technology? Do you enjoy working on scalable services in a collaborative team environment? Do you want to see your code directly impact millions of customers worldwide?
At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. Customer obsession is part of our company DNA, which has made us one of the world's most beloved brands.
AWS operates some of the world's most widely used database, storage, and analytics services. Our SDEs solve challenges across distributed systems, query processing, storage engines, and data platforms at massive scale.
Our SDEs use modern technology to solve complex problems while seeing their work's impact first-hand. The challenges SDEs solve at Amazon are meaningful and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products globally. We seek individuals passionate about creating new products, features, and services while managing ambiguity in an environment where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years.
At Amazon, we believe in ownership at every level. As an SDE-I, you'll own the entire lifecycle of your code - from design through deployment and ongoing operations. This ownership mindset, combined with our commitment to operational excellence, ensures we deliver the highest quality solutions for our customers.
We're looking for curious minds who think big and want to define tomorrow's technology. At Amazon, you'll grow into the high-impact engineer you know you can be, supported by a culture of learning and mentorship. Every day brings exciting new challenges and opportunities for personal growth.
We will take your location preferences into consideration. Preferences are based on business availability and are not guaranteed. Applicants will be considered at all locations in the United States.
During your application, you will have the opportunity to highlight your expertise in one or more specialized areas. While team placement is based on business needs, sharing your specific skills and interests helps us better align your experience with potential roles.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. For an update on your status or to confirm your application was submitted successfully, please login to your candidate portal at Amazon.jobs. Amazon works with a high volume of applicants so we appreciate your patience as we review applications.
