Senior Software Development Engineer - Distributed Computing Services (Hex) Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

HEX is a program that optimizes service creation and ownership for Amazon services by reducing the undifferentiated effort spent by developers. It minimizes the time to market and improves the security, availability and efficiency of Amazon services.

We are looking for bright and passionate engineers to join our talented delivery team. HEX engineers help shape the Amazon compute strategy by building a highly available platform to host thousands of Java services that operate 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, and improve the developer/operational experience for tenants. These are exciting times in our space - even with 2600+ tenants serving over 450 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.
