Software Development Engineer, AWS Resource Explorer, AWS Cloud Operations

DESCRIPTION

Are you interested in building a search engine that scales for trillions of objects with a search latency in milliseconds? Does the engineering challenge of building complex relationship graphs with trillions of nodes and edges excite you?

The AWS Resource Explorer team owns and operates highly scalable, highly available distributed systems that are used by all AWS customers and internal service teams alike. We are pioneers in areas such as identity, access management, resource management, security and providing massively scaled, distributed platform capabilities to all of AWS. We enable our customers to control and secure the most sensitive data on the internet. We are building some of the largest and most complex distributed systems in the world, and we need brilliant engineering leaders to work with us on this new initiative!

We are building a new cloud platform that dramatically simplifies how enterprise customers manage and control access to their AWS resources. We are looking for a talented engineering leader who will be responsible for owning, driving and evangelizing this space focused on enabling customers to manage and secure their AWS workloads at scale.

AWS has the most services and more features within those services than any other cloud provider—from infrastructure technologies like compute, storage, and databases to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things. The AWS Platform is the glue that holds the AWS ecosystem together. Whether it's Identity features such as access management and sign on, cryptography, console, builder & developer tools, and even projects like automating all of our contractual billing systems, AWS Platform is always innovating with the customer in mind. The AWS Platform team sustains over 750 million transactions per second.
Security is the #1 concern for customers moving to the cloud and AWS is dedicated to providing security features our customers need, at scale.

You will provide technical leadership to the team that owns design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operation of new global distributed systems that are core to all of AWS.
