Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world leader in providing a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world!

You will be at the forefront of cloud technologies with interactions across the full breadth of AWS services. You will be surrounded by people that are smart, passionate about cloud computing, and on a mission to be the World Class Standard for Customer Experience. As a lead developer on the team, you’ll own code end-to-end from design, to development, to deployment, to monitoring and operations. You’ll have a solid understanding of computer science fundamentals and practical experience developing complex applications. You’ll work closely with the rest of the development team to build distributed systems for our customers.

Our team, Collaborative Intelligence Technologies (CIT) is responsible for developing software and services to deliver knowledge management solutions to AWS customers and worldwide teams (such as Solutions Architects and Professional Services) so that our customers can find right information at right time. The engineers on the team touch everything from the front-end UI to the back-end services and databases. We’re using a variety of programming languages and frameworks, so experience with Java, Python, Ruby, HTML, JavaScript, AngularJS, and/or React will be helpful.

We are looking for a hands-on software development engineer who can:

• Participate in the full development life cycle, working within broadly defined parameters, including test plan execution and software quality needs.

• Own the delivery of an entire piece of a system or application, on small to midsize complex projects.

• Build software solutions where the problem is not well defined. Design and define the interaction between the software components and other systems where applicable.

• Be a technical leader & driver for high standards and implementing best practices.

• Build highly scalable, cloud-native applications using services like AWS API Gateway, Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, AWS Neptune, and Elasticsearch.
