Software Development Engineer - EC2 secret project

Job description

DESCRIPTION

EC2 has changed the landscape for computing - from startups through the Fortune 500. This culture of innovation has permanently altered how individuals and business think about computing resources.

EC2 is looking to change the game again with a totally new and disruptive model of computing. We are hiring innovative engineers looking for a (still secret) start-up like opportunity to build a new line of business, with new technologies, from the ground-up within EC2.

We aim to hire the best and brightest engineers. Engineers who will thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative and open environment, who aren't afraid to dive-deep to solve seemingly impossible challenges, who want to build rock solid 24x7 never-fail, highly-secure, software at world-class scale and who obsess over customers.
