Software Development Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

HEX is a development productivity program that optimizes service creation and management for Amazon. It minimizes time to market and improves the security, availability and efficiency of tier1 Amazon services.
We are looking for bright and passionate engineers to join our talented delivery team and help shape the Amazon compute strategy by building a highly available compute platform to host thousands of Java services, operating at the core of Amazon's business, at internet scale (tens of thousands of transactions per second). We enable Amazon's internal developers to improve time-to-market by allowing them to simply launch their application code as a service, operating in a managed, tier-1, resource-efficient hosted environment. You will help improve resource usage efficiency, increase availability, decrease latency and improve the developer/operational experience for tenants.
These are exciting times in our space – even with 2700+ tenants serving over 400 billion request per week, we are still at an early stage and working on ambitious new initiatives where every member of the team can have significant technical and business impact.
In this role you will be responsible for tackling core software engineering problems - distributed computing, resource usage efficiency, software isolation, fault tolerance and using AWS cloud technologies (EC2, ECS, Lambda, etc.) to architect highly scalable systems.
If you are interested in positively impacting hundreds of Amazon development teams across the world by engaging in technically challenging and personally rewarding work, then we look forward to speaking with you.
