The role
From Amazon's own posting.
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Do you enjoy building systems from the ground up? Are you passionate about setting standards for an AWS product in its early stages of development, as well as influence its architecture and product ideation? Do you like working with latest native AWS technologies and developing systems that can grow to the AWS scale? As part of AWS Supply Chain Management Team, you'll be a key part of developing next-generation supply chain solutions, produce manufacturing plans for data center capacity, and you'll have the chance to design and create enterprise-class products from scratch.
You'll architect, design, and implement federated and highly scalable distributed systems with high availability, low latency, and high throughput. You'll get the chance to use AWS' latest technologies to build and deploy enterprise-class products.
We are looking for creative and motivated software developers that want to work on challenging and high-impact problems. To be successful in this role, you must have a thorough understanding of algorithms and data structures, as well as the ability to produce bulletproof code. You must be passionate about delivering high-quality designs, inventive in problem-solving, and unafraid to think outside the box.
