System Development Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) has revolutionized the way companies obtain computing resources. With Amazon EC2, companies run their systems in the cloud with complete control, reliably, at scale, and only pay for the capacity they actually use.

EC2 Server Provisioning and Management team is developing next-generation services to support the development of new EC2 instance types and maintain the elasticity facade that our customers depend on everyday. We are looking for engineers with a passion for building at the interface between software and hardware to deliver rock-solid services and platforms at EC2-scale!

Building and operating the largest service architectures and distributed systems is in our DNA. As systems grow, accurate time becomes the fundamental limit that needs to be pushed to improve performance and reliability. Knowing the exact time of events is key to operate distributed systems. Correlating events across data centers in multiple geographical locations requires not only precise clocks but also reliable methods for measuring accuracy, latency and performance metrics. Precise and accurate clocks are key to build the next generation of very large distributed systems.

On our team, responsibilities include high quality design, significant hands-on software development (Rust, C, Java and Python), working with other senior engineers and AWS service teams to build and improve core services scalability and performance.

Join us in HQ2! Amazon offers relocation packages for the right candidates!
