Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a dynamic and rapidly growing business within Amazon, with over a million active customers in 190 countries around the world.

AWS’s code serves millions of requests per second and it does so with sub-second latency and in a fault tolerant manner.

AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that gives you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage.

Customers use Storage Gateway to simplify storage management and reduce costs for key hybrid cloud storage use cases. These include moving tape backups to the cloud, reducing on-premises storage with cloud-backed file shares, providing low latency access to data in AWS for on-premises applications, as well as various migration, archiving, processing, and disaster recovery use cases.

To support these use cases, the service provides three different types of gateways Tape Gateway, File Gateway, and Volume Gateway that seamlessly connect on-premises applications to cloud storage, caching data locally for low-latency access.

Your applications connect to the service through a virtual machine or hardware gateway appliance using standard storage protocols, such as NFS, SMB, and iSCSI.

The gateway connects to AWS storage services, such as Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Glacier, Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive, Amazon EBS, and AWS Backup, providing storage for files, volumes, snapshots, and virtual tapes in AWS.

The service includes a highly-optimized data transfer mechanism, with bandwidth management, automated network resilience, and efficient data transfer.

If you enjoy creating software and solutions which have real customer impact than this is your chance to join a service team early in the life of a growing service and help shape its future development.

As a software development engineer on the AWS Storage Gateway team you will be a key contributor to the future direction and growth of the service.

You will become part of a team of highly productive and results-oriented professionals. You will help define, design, and implement the next set of features and functionality.
