Software Development Engineer II, AWS Throttling
Amazon
DESCRIPTION
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Come and join, AWS Traffic Engineering! We’re a new team building out tools that will give anyone building services within AWS to manage throughput and protect their service from downtime due to excessive load.
We’re looking for software developers to solve real world problems on a global scale, own their systems end-to-end and influence the direction of our technology that impacts hundreds of millions customers around the world.
At Amazon an SDE can expect to design flexible and scalable solutions, and work on some of the most complex challenges in large-scale computing by utilizing your skills in data structures, algorithms, and object oriented programming. Joining AWS Traffic Engineering offers you the opportunity to work on a small, diverse development team building secure, reliable, and scalable features that help AWS services to be more resilient.
You will have the opportunity to drive mission critical projects, work with senior and principal engineers and mentor junior level developers. You will get in on the ground floor of building throttling software systems that are core to the operation of AWS!
Position Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with teams of engineers in the design, implementation, and deployment of successful internet-scale systems and services.
- Functionally decompose complex problems into simple, straight-forward solutions.
- Understand system interdependencies and limitations.
- Share your knowledge of the most effective performance, scalability, architecture, and engineering patterns and methods.
Key job responsibilities
• Design software solutions to enable new features or improve software. You may still require guidance from your team’s leadership to ensure your designs are in alignment with your team’s long-term architectural strategy.
• Effectively make priority tradeoffs between new feature development and operational work.
• Work on difficult problems with visible risks or roadblocks. You bring clarity to problems and identify simple designs for solutions.
• Act as a significant contributor to the full software development lifecycle, including scoping, design, code, testing, deployment and maintenance of the team's software.
• Demonstrate operational excellence in all of your work.
• Provide operational support for your team, and ensure that the root causes of operational issues are identified and resolved. You don’t settle for the status quo, and routinely identify and execute on opportunities to improve your team’s operations.
• Participate in the code review process on your team, providing meaningful feedback to others, including those who are more senior.
