About the team

AWS Engineers build at a scale rarely seen. You will have the chance to work on new and existing products, that directly impact the lives of millions, if not billions, of users around the globe. You’ll collaborate with other team members to investigate design approaches, prototype new technology, and evaluate technical feasibility. You will write high-quality distributed system software and drive engineering best practices. Working in an Agile/Scrum environment you will establish architectural principles and mentor team members.

AWS Engineers are versatile, able to simplify the complex and remove obstacles so builders can build. When you join, you will work on projects that are critical to AWS, and our customer’s needs. You will have opportunities to continue to grow and follow your passion, with exposure to different teams and locations as the business continues to evolve.

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It is not 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. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives. This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We do not like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we do not get paged for the same issue twice.
