Amazon Software Development Engineer, AWS Industry Products in Arlington, Virginia

Description

AWS Industry Products is a product engineering organization building the AWS products that transform industries, and ensure our AWS customers are the first to benefit from big industry shifts. The products we build truly work in the real world for our customers. We dive deep with industry leaders to solve problems and unblock industries, enabling them to capitalize on new digital business models. We focus on the automotive, supply chain, sustainability, multimedia/entertainment, sports, telecom, healthcare life science and manufacturing industries.

We are looking for Software Development Engineers obsessed with customer success and excited to dive deep into the growth opportunity of delivering new product categories to new customer types in an emerging technology space. Our engineers build not only hard technical skills, but they build soft skills too about how to engage more closely in defining a product and how to build code that is more flexible, nimble, and extensible as we iterate on finding the right product-market fit. We will have to solve scaling problems that are bigger than many external companies, even in the early stages so exposure to distributed computing techniques is part of our DNA.

Our technical challenges involve back-end software engineering, edge computing, applied science, and front-end development. We need to develop and apply quantitative algorithms (e.g. machine learning, computer vision, numerical optimization) to make industry process analysis relevant and actionable for operations engineers. We build software and information systems to process massive scale operational data, infer information relationship across complex systems, train decision models and apply them to critical operations at industrial scale.

As a senior member of the team, you can have a huge impact on everything from the functionality we deliver for our customers, to the design and architecture of our systems, to the algorithms we employ, to the culture we build.
