    Description

    Join our team of innovative Software Engineers and build the next generation service platforms for AWS, EC2 and our customers.

    These services are key components of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) web service.


    Our platform handles a significant load of Internet traffic generated by internal and external customers that build their solutions on EC2.

    On any given day we use Java, Kotlin, Typescript, Python, Ruby, Go and C++ as well as various Native AWS services and Amazon-internal tools.

    We don't expect you to be an expert in, or know all these technologies, but we do expect you to have strong programming fundamentals and be excited to learn about these technologies.

    Our team invents, designs and builds software that is stable, scalable and performant. We write and support code that is easy to understand with solutions that are pragmatic. We keep a high bar in code reviews to ensure high quality code.


    Engineers in our teams have great ownership, a drive to innovate and aim to have resounding impact in whatever we build.


    As a member of this team, you will own and contribute to the development of quality designs & solutions, solving complex problems.

    You are able to operate with limited guidance and take a long term view of your team's services and how they fit into the broader architecture.

    The services that your team own are used by many teams and you will have opportunities to work and influence engineers and teams outside of your own team to build out EC2 architecture that supports Amazon scale business needs.


    We follow a DevOps model and we assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a more well rounded engineer that will enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

    This position includes on-call duties which is on rotation with the rest of the team. Our team values work-life balance.


    As an Amazonian, you will enjoy interacting with some of the most talented engineers in our industry through breakfast talks and demos, internal communities and extensive training material that spans all aspects of our business.

    We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, curious, empathic, motivated and reliable. The development opportunities are plentiful and we're only just starting to scratch the surface. If this sounds intriguing to you, then come build with us.

    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.

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

    About the team
    About AWS
    Diverse Experiences
    AWS values diverse experiences.

    Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply.

    If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.

    Why AWS?
    Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.

    We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

    Inclusive Team Culture
    Here at AWS, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.

    Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

    Mentorship & Career Growth
    We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer.

    That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.

    Work/Life Balance
    We value work-life harmony.

    Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture.

    When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve in the cloud.

    We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
