Successful candidates will use data to drive improvements to the overall EBS business.

As a member of the EBS team, you will have strong ownership over the design, implementation, and operation of a massive scale distributed system. You'll work closely with a tight, agile team that ships and you will be able to see the impact your work has on real customers. You'll also have the opportunity to work across a range of technologies, from Java-based distributed systems using sql and nosql datastores, low level high performance storage systems in C/C++, to massive real time data analytics.

Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is a virtualized storage service that offers highly available, high performance storage for EC2. As one of the core building block of AWS, EBS has experienced phenomenal growth since inception. This is a great opportunity to work on one of the most challenging problems in the cloud, with incredibly talented teammates who know how to ship.
