$151.2k - $204.6k

Amazon Locker

One of the world’s highest scale storage platforms is currently looking for a Systems Development Engineer with an obsession for automation. Is this you? How can you tell? You’re fascinated with how software applications, their developers and their operators interact to deliver the world-class Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage service. You have a long history of asking “What if we do it this way?” and proposing “I could develop a fix for this!” You love working directly with people to diagnose their needs, deliver a solution, and watch it solve their problems. You believe in a full-lifecycle, DevOps-based, software development process that delivers well-designed, tested, and resilient solutions. Your professional pride is deeply wounded any time a customer discovers a bug or your solution doesn’t work for them. You’re happiest working with a team of world-class engineers that are always learning and sharing new skills and techniques.Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of Amazon’s fastest growing businesses. It services millions of customers in more than 190 countries and powers the developers who are building the next generation of global industry leaders. AWS runs a globally distributed environment, operating at massive levels of scale. Businesses, from startups to enterprises, run their operations and applications on AWS’s multi-tenant infrastructure. Each day, millions of developers execute billions of transactions worldwide on the AWS Cloud. Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is storage for the Internet. Through the use of pioneering techniques in distributed computing, developers are able to durably store their data on Amazon’s proven computing infrastructure to achieve virtually limitless storage capacity at minimal cost. S3 sets the standard for functionality, cost, and performance for storage in the cloud. With trillions of objects under management, we’re one of the most successful services anywhere. But, we’re not resting on our laurels… it’s still the early days for cloud computing, and there are boundless opportunities to continue to redefine the world of storage.S3 Unique Regions group is responsible for S3 service in AWS regions beyond the regular public service offerings.
