This position offers the chance to influence compute infrastructure decisions that affect numerous Amazon services.

  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations

Responsibilities

  • Design and build highly distributed systems and customer-friendly tools for migrating services to AWS-native solutions.
  • Develop infrastructure CDK constructs for the Stores compute platform while ensuring architectural integrity.
  • Build automation to enhance operations, maintenance, and developer productivity for HEX platform customers.
  • Identify and implement solutions to detect and prevent outages, improving system reliability.
  • Provide operational support for HEX services, including troubleshooting complex distributed systems issues.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners to gather requirements and design technical solutions.
  • Contribute to the team's technical vision and architecture, balancing immediate needs with long-term goals.
  • Participate in on-call rotations and maintain operational health metrics for team-owned services.

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs.
