About AWS

Diverse Experiences
AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

Why AWS?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Inclusive Team Culture
Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

We’re looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we’ve been building.


Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. You would be one of the people responsible for growing the careers of our other engineers and raising the bar on how we develop complex, scalable, reliable code for our team.

We care about your career growth, and managers have frequent 1:1s with their engineers. We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.


Work/Life Harmony
We value work-life harmony. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

Key job responsibilities
1. Implement robust, scalable, and maintainable software solutions using a variety of programming languages and frameworks (e.g., Java, Python, TypeScript, React).
2. Collaborate cross-functionally with software managers, product managers, data scientists, and customer success teams to design and develop innovative features and functionality that drive measurable improvements in customer satisfaction and cloud optimization.
3. Participate in on-call rotations to ensure the operational excellence and reliability of the service, quickly responding to alarms, troubleshooting issues and implementing quick fixes as needed.
4. Mentor and guide other engineers on the team, providing code reviews, and helping to upskill the team in general.
5. Contribute to the development and refinement of software engineering best practices, including testing frameworks, code standards, and CI/CD pipelines.
6. Stay up-to-date with the latest AWS services, features, and technological advancements, and incorporate them into the cloud optimization solution.
7. Participate in project planning, estimation, and delivery to ensure timely and successful feature releases.
