Job Description
Job summary
Do you want to work on projects that impact millions of customers? Do you feel passionate about working with highly scalable and available systems? Do you get excited at the idea of designing and delivering next-generation cloud infrastructure? Your quest is finally over!
AWS CloudFormation provides an easy declarative way to create, deploy, and manage applications and infrastructure in the AWS cloud. The CloudFormation teams are pioneers in the "Infrastructure as Code" space. The service allows customers to spin up infrastructure across AWS at an unprecedented scale. We are looking for software developers to join our amazing team, who excel in a fast-paced and often ambiguous environment where we love pushing the boundaries to innovate, learn new technologies, and create solutions in a huge internal and external problem space. You'll get to learn, grow, and work with an amazing team to:
• Design and iterate developer tools and services that are used by thousands of AWS users.
• Work with and learn many different technologies. While Java and Kotlin are most commonly used, we are also actively looking for opportunities to build microservices using Rust, Go, and other languages.
• Deeply own the stack and the entire lifecycle of our products, from the roadmap to the architecture, design, and continuous iterative deployment.
• Interface closely with internal and external customers to quickly drive new products and new features.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.
