We run very lean and scale with the business, without repeated technical or operational burden. We use Rust, Go, Python (and many other things) in NAWS. We touch everything from embedded systems and kernel, to GRPC/Rest APIs and your favorite front-end stack (ours is React). We own and support every service across different verticals:* Product – We own solutions that provide visibility into business-driving metrics, aggregate information, trigger actions, and help leaders manage this domain.* Build and release – we own the CI/CD charter. We push commits through pipelines that compile binaries, build images, debug symbols, go through multiple stages of validation, and push updates to millions of devices across the Amazon network. We aim to simplify and reduce the time to release new content to the network, automate processes, etc.* Validation and qualification – builders use our testing frameworks to validate the OS. We own tooling for unit/integration/functional/system testing, and static analysis (but don’t own the tests). We aim to improve quality by reducing defects, increasing the expressiveness of the testing scenarios, and reducing feedback loop.* Infrastructure – we own and support datacenter labs with tooling that manages inventory, reservations, capacity auto-scaling/provisioning/recovery, sanity checks, etc. This is the underlying infrastructure of the ecosystem.BASIC QUALIFICATIONS- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience- Experience programming with at least one software programming language
