AWS is seeking a Software Engineer to join their team of innovative engineers who are building next-generation service platforms for AWS, EC2, and customers. These services are key components of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) web service. The team uses Java, Kotlin, Typescript, Python, Ruby, Go, and C++, as well as various Native AWS services and Amazon-internal tools.
The team invents, designs, and builds software that is stable, scalable, and performant. They write and support code that is easy to understand with pragmatic solutions. High-quality code is maintained through rigorous code reviews.
Engineers in this team have great ownership, a drive to innovate, and aim to have a resounding impact in whatever they build.

This position includes on-call duties which are on rotation with the rest of the team. The team values work-life balance and enjoys interacting with talented engineers through breakfast talks, demos, internal communities, and extensive training material.
