Amazon Software Development Engineer, AWS in Columbia, Maryland

Description

Are you passionate about collaborating with a team of builders who own and operate a service that connects satellites to the cloud? A Software Development Engineer with AWS supports the development and delivery of key features as we innovate for our customers. On our team you will use your expertise to:

  • Design systems that ensure all parts of the service operate effectively with each other.

  • Collaborate with peers to evaluate requirements and technologies that close the gap between customer needs and service functionality.

  • Identify opportunities for optimization to make the service more efficient and cost effective.

  • Share your knowledge as you help mentor and coach other developers on our team.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance. The position further requires that, after start, the selected candidate obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.

Key job responsibilities

Amazon’s vision is to be the world’s most customer-centric company, and this role is key to that vision. These technologies are essential for meeting our customers’ expectations for service and value and meeting Amazon’s goals for efficiency, speed, and reliability as we continue expanding the service around the world. Software development engineer positions require a depth and breadth of knowledge in design and development, experience with agile methodologies, proficiency in a high-level language, and experience building highly scalable systems involving distributed services and persistent storage. This is a high visibility and fast-paced environment where you will make a direct impact on the customer experience and the bottom line of the company.

As an ideal candidate, you:

  • Are great at solving problems.

  • Possess experience building scalable software using agile methodologies.

  • Build trust and relationships with different stakeholders (development peers, product and project management, and service leadership).

  • Are comfortable addressing and resolving ambiguity.

  • Recognize and appreciate diversity of thought and perspectives.

A day in the life

Each day you will interact with other developers to build and improve the service. You will prioritize your activities to support product development, solve problems and blockers, and focus on the actions that are most impactful for program success. All while building a service on a team that’s committed to low operational burden by designing for it. That puts work-life balance, personal and professional growth as a principle, not a goal.
