Software Development Engineer, S3

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is storage for the Internet. Through the use of pioneering techniques in distributed computing, developers are able to durably store their data on Amazon’s proven computing infrastructure to achieve virtually limitless storage capacity at minimal cost. Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.

We are looking for a talented Software Development Engineer to join our S3 Fleet Management team to support AWS S3 Fleet Automation services and help build the new generation of Fleet Agnostic and Cloud Based Automation Services. You will contribute towards our rapidly increasing scale as we expand our services to internal AWS customers. To meet and exceed our customers' expectations, we are constantly working on software innovation, process automation, and improving cloud storage infrastructure. We seek smart, passionate and visionary people to help us deliver this industry leading technology.

Our team is clearly passionate about the incredible opportunity that Amazon S3 presents and about distributed systems in general. You will have the opportunity to deliver high quality technology products/services in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift fast. You will be able to utilize your experience in designing and building software services while working collaboratively with high-performing teams.


Key job responsibilities
* Design, implementation, deployment, and maintenance of innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
* Use Java/Java based frameworks and software engineering best practices to ensure the standard of quality of all team deliverables.
* Write high quality distributed system software.
* Work in an agile development environment, where you are always working on the most important stuff.
* Mentor junior software development engineers


Work-life Balance
Our team works together to provide work/life balance for all team members. We recognize that the circumstances of our team members vary, and we balance work across the team so we’re all able to maintain standards on behalf of our customers, while at the same time allowing for rich and happy personal lives.

On-Call Responsibility
S3 services are highly available, but there are times when we occasionally stray away from our normal operations. To minimize the impact of such excursions, we have on-call rotations. However, we set these up so there are focused time periods when you are on-call and when you are not, so you can focus on your day job when not on-call.

Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. 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.

Inclusive Team Culture
We have a diverse team and drive towards an inclusive culture and work environment. Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Our 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, Amazon Women and Engineering, and LGBTQ+.
