Software Development Engineer, EC2 Fleet Maintenance

Passionate about the cloud? Interested in expanding on one of the strongest operating platforms in history? Come and join a creative team of talented engineers of EC2 Fleet Maintenance team as we invest and expand in support of our exciting growth.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the centerpiece of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) family of cloud infrastructure services.

As part of continuing to build the team supporting this key service, we are expanding our Fleet Maintenance team in Seattle.

EC2 Fleet Maintenance seeks an experienced, hands on engineer with a passion for designing and developing highly scalable, distributed software.

Our systems monitor the EC2 fleet and automatically take actions that directly improve customer experience by maximizing the availability and reliability of compute resources.

The team’s problem space is diverse and interesting and you will have ample opportunity to work with a variety of exciting technologies in support of maximizing the health of all compute workloads across all our infrastructure.

Work / Life Balance

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life.

We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment.

We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant.

When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
