Front-End Engineer, AWS Training & Certification

Shape the future of learning with us!

The AWS Training & Certification (T&C) team empowers millions of individuals and companies worldwide to cultivate and expand their professional skills using AWS products and services in the cloud.

This job is a unique opportunity to build the next generation of learning experiences from the ground up using the same modern native AWS technologies we enable our customers to learn.

Key job responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain full-stack internet-scale web applications on AWS; heavy focus on RESTful APIs, infrastructure as code, and test automation.
• Integrate our systems with core Amazon services for e-commerce, identity, and security.
• Work closely with business stakeholders to understand their requirements, and identify opportunities to improve business processes through high quality software that is extensible, re-usable and easy to maintain.
• Collaborate on our technology roadmap to turn visions into reality.

A day in the life

As a Front-End Engineer at AWS, you will be innovative and have excellent problem solving, analytical, and technical skills.

You enjoy simplifying complex problems and tackling tough challenges with a focus on implementing front-end best principles and practices.

You are comfortable working independently, pairing with other senior engineers, and mentoring other team members through complex technical solutions.

You’ll work collaboratively across teams to implement best practices and to learn and enforce standards for front end development.

On-call Responsibility

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.

We are looking for highly motivated Front-End development engineers to bring in their ideas and experience to deliver great products to our customers.
