Description For Software Development Engineer, Amazon Location Service, AWS

Do you want to be part of a team building a brand-new AWS service from the ground up? If yes, come join Amazon Location (https://aws.amazon.com/location/). With Amazon Location Service, customers can easily add capabilities such as maps, points of interest, geocoding, geofences, and tracking to applications. They retain control of their location data, so that they can combine proprietary data with data from the service without their private information ever leaving their AWS account.

Key job responsibilities: We are looking for a software engineer to drive feature development for Amazon Location Service. You will take the lead on end-to-end full stack design, development of our new serverless AWS service. You will deliver a best in class customer experience and operate the service to the highest standards.

A day in the life: Start your day, grab a coffee (or tea), say hi to your team, design and build features to create or enhance applications. Other elements in the day of a SDE include ensuring operational effectiveness of systems, providing oncall support, running and attending meetings including sprint ceremonies and reviewing designs and work products with your team and stakeholders.

About the team: Our team is passionate about location, privacy, and building modern serverless applications. We believe that location is a concept that people need to bring to and embed within their applications. We want to provide an easy way for AWS customers to do this while not comprising on privacy. And we want to do all this while building things in a modern serverless way on the AWS cloud.

Amazon values diverse experiences and work-life harmony. We offer flexible work hours and arrangements, employee-led affinity groups, ongoing events and learning experiences, mentorship, and career growth opportunities.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent, or 4+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience building distributed cloud systems
  • Hands on experience with DevOps tools and practices
  • Experience maintaining open source codebases

Amazon is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace and is an equal opportunity employer.
