Description

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. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

If the idea of accelerating a historic shift in technology excites you, apply to join us in the AWS Migration Services group in Santa Clara. We are expanding by adding a new team to build a brand-new service, and looking for talented engineers obsessed with customer experience and operational excellence.

As a Software Development Engineer on our team, you will design, build, and operate AWS services, using your AI/ML experience, to help large enterprise companies move their computing into AWS. You will become an expert in migrations, which are complex problems involving hundreds or thousands of computer systems that must be identified, organized, and migrated or modernized in a way that meets each customer's unique needs.

This position involves periodic on-call responsibilities. We don’t like getting paged, so we build our systems fault tolerant and root cause problems so we’re not paged for the same issue twice.

Key job responsibilities

You play a key technical leadership role on your team, understanding the business and customer need as well as the technology. You drive design, implementation, and delivery. You bring your expertise in implementing AI/ML-based systems to revolutionize the migration process for customers. You provide effective communication of your ideas within and across teams to create the right outcomes for your team and customers. The quality and efficiency of your code, design, and implementation set a great example of best practices for engineers. You actively participate in mentorship of others through code and design reviews, helping improve skills, and teaching best practices. You want the opportunity to grow your technical and professional skills while helping AWS grow.
