Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is storage for the Internet. Through the use of pioneering techniques in distributed computing, developers are able to durably store their data on Amazon?s proven computing infrastructure to achieve virtually limitless storage capacity at minimal cost. Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers.
We are looking for a talented Senior Software Development Engineer to join our S3 Fleet Management team to support AWS S3 Fleet Automation services and help build the new generation of Fleet Agnostic and Cloud Based Automation Services. You will contribute towards our rapidly increasing scale as we expand our services to internal AWS customers. To meet and exceed our customers\' expectations, we are constantly working on software innovation, process automation, and improving cloud storage infrastructure. We seek smart, passionate and innovative people to help us deliver this industry leading technology.
Our team is clearly passionate about the incredible opportunity that Amazon S3 presents and about distributed systems in general. You will have the opportunity to deliver high quality technology products/services in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift fast. You will be able to utilize your experience in building, managing, and mentoring engineering teams, while operating or using web-based services.
