DESCRIPTION
Are you passionate about technology and solving hard problems? Do you want to grow your skills as you help us grow and scale the world's largest cloud computing service? Do you want to make history and have fun doing it? If so, Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) is looking for people just like you! EC2 is at the core of AWS services and we are growing every day to meet the demands of our business as we continue to scale.
EC2 Nitro drives the planet’s largest, fastest growing and most feature-rich compute cloud. Nitro is AWS’s ground-up design for virtualization at global scale built on a fully custom stack of hardware, firmware and applications. Nitro has enabled EC2 to support Intel, AMD and Amazon’s custom silicon - Graviton - while raising the industry bar for security and performance across our product line. The EC2 Provisioning team is the assembly line for EC2, turning new servers into EC2 virtualized hosts running customer workloads across the globe. Every EC2 customer instance running on every host-type, in every data center , across the globe has passed through services operated by this team. EC2 Provisioning engineers become subject matter experts on distributed, asynchronous services running at global scale.
Within EC2 Provisioning, the Network Provisioning team owns IP management for the EC2 substrate network. Our workflows vend IP addresses to every device attached to the substrate throughout their lifecycle, including rack ingestion, host provisioning, rack migration, and repair. In 2024, we delivered an AWS goal to retire a legacy DHCP system that had been around since the start of EC2 (2006!) and presented the win in the AWS Ops review. We take pride in operational excellence and are relentless driving improvements and simplifying our services.
The infra and technologies needed to this are growing and innovating at rapid pace. Work is primarily done in Java and Go and includes the full lifecycle of software development, including requirements, system design, implementation, testing, monitoring, alarming and reporting. Software Development Engineers work closely with EC2 Principal Engineers and other technical leaders to refine technical direction, and then follow through with detailed analysis, designs, and high quality code.
Work/Life Balance
We are flexible on work location and will work with new employees to tailor their office vs. home work experience to best suit their needs. We value work-life balance and believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
Inclusive Team Culture
Our team is diverse! We drive towards an inclusive culture and work environment. We are intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Team members are active in Amazon’s 10+ affinity groups, sometimes known as employee resource groups, which bring employees together across businesses and locations around the world. These range from groups such as the Black Employee Network, Latinos at Amazon, Indigenous at Amazon, Families at Amazon, Amazon Women and Engineering, LGBTQ+, Warriors at Amazon (Military), Amazon People With Disabilities, and more.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and dive-deep into code reviews, sharing knowledge and experience. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
This team creates the very foundation of the AWS cloud and is directly responsible for changing and improving the way EC2 operates and supports our customers at the global level - come help us make history!
