Software Development Engineer Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Do you want to be in the center of the service that make it easier for thousands of developers and dev ops engineers all over the world to characterize the performance and behavior of their micro-service based systems when running within AWS?

AWS X-Ray enables AWS customers to instrument their services and trace requests through their code as well as the underlying AWS services on which they may run. It generates a service graph of all contributing service elements, and within the easy to use console experience allows the diagnosis of high API latencies and/or errors by descending into the details of any individual request. Our mission is to deliver and scale such a service to very large numbers of customers each of whom may be running at extremely large request rates, and perform sophisticated time-series analysis in near real-time.

The AWS X-Ray team is looking for talented software developers who are passionate about distributed system challenges at scale, want to work on some of the best technologies that AWS has to offer, and have a consistent routine of dogfooding in production.

As part of the team, you will be responsible for:

* Building services and tooling which allow AWS X-Ray customers to instrument their micro-service based implementations at very large scale and be able to analyze and explore stored traces in near real-time.
* Building a distributed web service that follows modern design patterns, and scales horizontally presenting an on-going set of API's.
* Partnering with multiple teams within AWS to build solutions that add value to internal engineers and their customers.
* Providing technical leadership to the engineering team and contributing to the product development lifecyle.
