Software Dev Engineer, AWS Edge, AWS Edge

Compute Cloud (EC2) has changed the landscape for computing - from startups through the Fortune 500. This culture of innovation has permanently altered how individuals and business think about computing resources.

Now, we look to change the game AGAIN with a new and disruptive model of computing. We are hiring innovative engineers for AWS Edge - a start-up like opportunity to build a new line of business, with new technologies, from the ground-up.

AWS Edge is bringing fully managed and configurable compute and storage racks built with AWS-designed hardware that you can use to operate a seamless hybrid cloud.

AWS Edge extends native AWS services to virtually any customer data center, co-location space, or on a fully managed multi-tenant Local Zone.

We aim to hire engineers who will thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative and open environment, who aren't afraid to dive-deep to solve seemingly impossible challenges, who want to build rock solid 24x7 never-fail, highly-secure, software at world-class scale and who obsess over customers.

Our team is focused on building tooling to support the lifecycle of various Edge products. This includes the Outpost, Local Zone, and Wavelength family of products.

Our team gets a unique view of our customers as we follow multiple Edge products through their lifecycle; from order, to build, to decommission.

We are focused on the automation of manual processes to support rapid growth and to gather and report data to inform our business of customer needs.
