Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is storage for the Internet. Through the use of pioneering techniques in storage and computing, developers can reliably 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 and web platform that can store and retrieve any amount of data, 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 websites. The service aims to maximize the benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our new team to help us design, develop, and implement the next generation product. You will focus on the challenges of writing distributed software to handle the vast array of S3 use cases, with performance being the central binding theme. You will brainstorm new experiences with customers that break ground in enabling new enterprise workloads on S3.
Utility Computing (UC)
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
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.
Key job responsibilities
- Design, implementation, deployment and maintenance of innovative software solutions to transform service performance, availability, cost, and security.
- Use Rust 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
