Description

About the Role:
Do you want to solve business challenges through innovative technology? Do you enjoy working on innovative, scalable services technology in a team environment? At Amazon, you will grow into the high impact leader you know you're ready to be. Every day will be filled with exciting new challenges, developing new skills, and achieving personal growth.
Amazon's Software Development Engineers (SDEs) use latest technology to solve complex problems and build innovative solutions on behalf of our customers. We're looking for engineers who are passionate about creating scalable services, working on challenging technical problems, and seeing the direct impact of their work at global scale.

Position Overview:
SDEs in the EC2 Edge Core-Services organization are autonomous contributors to their team's software for building and maintaining scalable services, tools, and processes that manage Edge devices throughout their lifecycle from order fulfilment to when an asset's useful life is over.
You will deliver working features spanning the full software lifecycle including working backwards from customers, software design, implementation, testing, deployment, operations, and documentation. Your code will be of high-quality and you'll make regular commits to contribute to the team's codebase. You'll also coach others on producing high quality code and following engineering best practices. You'll ensure that when software fails, the root cause is identified and eliminated with a permanent fix.
