Software Dev Engineer II, AWS Applications (amazonjobs)

Job Description

As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

Are you interested in building a new AWS product for external customers? AWS Solutions team is looking for a seasoned software development engineer to play a key role in building a 0 to 1 product that enhances hybrid collaboration using AI. You will own full stack application architecture, performance engineering and launch the product to next stage.

Much like the story of AWS, we initially solved Amazon’s own internal customer problem. From that first-hand experience, we realized that this product can also significantly improve the way people collaborate and is in high demand by external customers as well. Leveraging AWS’ scale, reliability, flexibility, and ease of use, we will offer customers an easy-to-manage and cost-effective solution that solves many of these pain points.

Key job responsibilities
As a SDE-2 on our team, you’ll -

- Help leading the team's end-to-end development, from requirements to implementation, and work closely with senior technical leaders across the org. You’ll have a sound understanding of computer science fundamentals and practical industry experience, working across the stack.

- Build rapid prototypes for gathering customer feedback and iteratively build robust and scalable solutions by working backwards from customer and business needs.

- Mentor junior engineers on the team.
