Job Information
Amazon Software Development Engineer, Compute Services in Seattle, Washington
Description
Do you want to help lead the cloud revolution and build software that thrives at immense scale?
AWS Elastic Load Balancing enables customers to build large scale highly available services. ELB automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions. ELB provides the entry point for building hyper scale, fault tolerant applications. While ELB has seen tremendous growth since launch we are still in the early stages of realizing our full potential.
Why you should join the Amazon ELB team?
We are building and launching new services and features on a regular basis. Application load balancer(ALB), Network load balancer(NLB), Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) and Privatelink are a few examples.
We ship software frequently, get fast feedback from real customers around the globe and see the results of our work come to fruition. The Amazon ELB service is deployed globally to over 25 regions today and is growing at an extremely rapid rate.
There are real-world problems to solve that you won't find ready-made answers for. For example, how do you ensure customers can scale their application quickly to handle traffic spikes and then back down in a matter of minutes? How do you design a load balancing solution that allows customers to quickly and easily achieve the highest levels of fault tolerance using Amazon EC2?
We are now designing and building the next generation of ELB services capable of handling terabytes of data per day and growing from there. This is a unique opportunity to help build large-scale systems from the ground up.
The ideal candidate is excited about the incredible opportunity that EKS represents, and is passionate about delivering high quality services in a hyper-growth environment. As a member of our team, you'll collaborate with outstanding engineers and leaders to refine product requirements with product managers, define architecture, and take a leadership role in the implementation and launch of software. All team members actively participate in planning, product definition, technical architecture review, iterative development, code review, and operations. Along with this, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with enterprise customers to ensure their needs are met -- clear, professional communication with teammates and customers is an important part of the job.
Work/Life Balance:
Our team believes in maintaining the right work/life balance. We understand the importance of a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, and we strive to create an environment that fosters productivity while respecting personal time. Join us in building cutting-edge technologies and making an impact in the container orchestration space, all while enjoying a fulfilling and balanced professional life. If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of container orchestration, thriving in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, and wanting to contribute to the future of Kubernetes, we encourage you to apply and be part of our talented team at EKS.
