Front-End Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of Amazon’s fastest growing businesses. At AWS, we are passionate about thinking big, innovating on behalf of our customers, and tackling problems at scale. Millions of customers, from independent developers to large enterprises, interact with AWS by using the AWS Management Console. The Management Console is their introduction to AWS, and for many, their primary interface to accomplish a wide variety of tasks. It is our job to maintain and improve this experience, constantly innovating with rapid design and experimentation, leveraging well-established mechanisms for gathering and understanding user behavior and feedback.

The AWS Console Experiences team is looking for a highly passionate and capable Front-End Engineer. As the stewards of AWS Global Navigation and Console Home, the primary gateway into the AWS experience, it is our team's job to help customers find what they need to complete their goals quickly and efficiently. In the coming months Global Navigation will be rebuilt with modern, web-component based technology; and Console Home will evolve to empower AWS teams and customers to personalize experiences, creating a cockpit-style dashboard to allow AWS customers to determine service status easily and to react quickly. If you are passionate about taking full advantage of modern Web browsers, open source technologies, and AWS services to help drive the future of the AWS customer experience, we'd love to hear from you!
