Seattle, WA - Software Development Engineer
AWS - My team is looking for software engineers passionate about building new web services. If you’re interested in building high performance distributed systems, come join a new AWS service and influence the direction of the leading cloud provider. We have several positions for a range of experience levels. If you’re not in Seattle but are up for a change of scenery, Amazon has a great relocation program that makes it extremely easy to join AWS.

AWS is an unique mix of startup culture/autonomy combined with the ability to leverage the incredible infrastructure of Amazon/AWS. I’ve worked in AWS for the past year and I’ve learned more in that time than I thought possible. I’m an infrastructure person at heart, and at other companies I’ve worked for, I’m always torn between doing the deep engineering that I love, or working on a more customer focused product. In AWS, they are one and the same. I like having scalability, availability, and performance as core features of the product I’m building. Another thing I love about working in AWS is the impact your work has - your service is used by thousands of developers, and those developers use your service in ways you never imagined, which are then used by millions of people.
