Software Development Engineer II (L5), AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS)

Amazon Web Services is looking for experienced engineers to help us build the future of computing. The AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) service delivers high performance virtualized storage "in the cloud" for EC2.

Durable and performant storage is a key building block for any application and as a member of the team you'll work alongside outstanding engineers and leaders to develop and operate one of the largest distributed systems in the world.

We are looking for an experienced developer to join the durability-focused data plane team that owns core logic and contributes to a broad and strategic set of projects.

You will be part of a team that develops and maintains the components enabling high durability of the EBS offering. We consistently improve our durability and we want you to help us implement that charter!

You will design and solve for performance, availability and scalability problems. You will develop and implement key metrics to analyze and improve business operational efficiency.

We also expect our engineers to interact with customers, to understand our business goals and to innovate rapidly, delivering high-quality and ground-breaking functionality.

You will have opportunities to develop software on the latest platforms and drive the roadmap for the next generation. You will have an immediate impact on millions of customers, improving their experience as their applications run in the AWS Cloud.

Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally.

We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences.

Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

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.

Mentorship & Career Growth

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.

Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
