Senior Software Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join a high-impact engineering team supporting a mission-critical real-time log analysis / log intelligence platform. This system operates at extreme scale (~20TB/min, ingesting from ~9,000 sources) and requires exceptional attention to stability, correctness, and performance. The engineer will work closely with the team lead to safely enhance a ~20-year legacy codebase while also supporting design and implementation of new streaming capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Enhance and maintain a high-throughput, low-latency real-time analytics platform with strict SLAs.
• Dive into and improve a mature legacy codebase (limited documentation / high complexity), implementing safe changes with strong risk awareness.
• Contribute to new streaming design and implementation while maintaining existing frameworks.
• Build and support event-driven services (or actor-based patterns where applicable) with operational excellence.
• Participate in a team culture focused on curiosity, bias for action, and deep attention to detail.

Required Qualifications

• Prior internal Amazon experience (required)
• Senior-level engineering experience in production environments with meaningful operational impact
• Strong backend engineering skills in Java (Spring or similar)
• Strong working knowledge of Linux (comfort troubleshooting, logs, runtime behavior, basic systems fundamentals)
• Experience building/supporting distributed systems and/or event-driven architectures
• Ability to work hybrid onsite in Nashville, TN for the duration of the engagement
• Strong attention to detail, safe-change mindset, and ability to ramp quickly in ambiguous/legacy environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-throughput + low-latency systems and strict SLAs
• AWS experience (ECS, EC2, DynamoDB, Lambda, SQS, CloudWatch, etc.)
• Infrastructure as Code experience (e.g., AWS CDK)
• Streaming/pipeline design experience (e.g., Kinesis/Kafka/Flink/Spark Streaming)
• Experience supporting experimentation / A/B testing frameworks

Interview Process

• 1-hour technical interview (code + scenario-based)
