Software Development Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon is focused on protecting the health and safety of our employees while continuing to serve people who need our services more than ever. Regular testing on a global scale across all industries would both help keep people safe and help get the economy back up and running. But, for this to work, we as a society would need vastly more testing capacity than is currently available. Unfortunately, today we live in a world of scarcity where COVID-19 testing is heavily rationed. Until we have an effective vaccine available in billions of doses, high-volume testing capacity would be of great help, but getting that done will take collective action by NGOs, companies, and governments.

For our part, Amazon has begun the work of building incremental testing capacity. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to assist in building the COVID-19 technology solutions.

In this role, you will be part of a larger software development team based in Paris. You will own some of the core systems of the end-to-end COVID-19 testing solution developed by Amazon. You will work closely with Product Management teams in EU and US to scope, prioritize and implement the new capabilities required to expand the program.
