Senior Software Development Engineer, AWS Transactional Services

The Transactional Services team builds some of the most foundational distributed systems that underpin and power many large AWS services. We build and own a high performance, highly available replicated log service used by a range of AWS services as a commit log and for streaming data.

We are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to own and a build major part for our control plane. Your work will be critical to the scalability and availability of the service. Working on a foundational service, your work can have a large, positive impact for AWS customers.

Job responsibilities include:

* Designing, developing, and operating highly available and scalable control plane services that manage the lifecycle, placement, and metadata of one of AWS's largest distributed systems — handling hundreds of millions of operations per second.

* Improving service quality, operational excellence, and reliability — building monitoring, automation, and operational tooling that prevents customer impact.

* Providing input to project plans and delivery commitments and developing quality features in line with those commitments.

* Working with a talented team, gaining and sharing knowledge through code reviews and design reviews.

* Mentoring other engineers.

* Driving technology, product and process improvements.

The role involves end-to-end ownership, from requirements to design, implementation, deployment and ongoing production support. You will have the opportunity to work with senior and principal software engineers on a daily basis.

In joining our team, you'll enjoy a competitive salary, great benefits, and a creative and comfortable work environment. Our team has multiple opportunities for growth on technical and leadership frontiers, with variety of project types on our roadmap to fit your personal career growth path.
