DESCRIPTION
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
CloudFront is one of AWS' largest services, at the center of almost every major Internet event. Our customers use CloudFront for fast and secure delivery of web/application content, on-demand video/music and live events streaming. As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you will lead the development of key initiatives, build and operate cutting-edge features, delight customers and continue to scale to ever-increasing heights. This is a unique opportunity to influence CloudFront technical direction as we build our next-generation Control Plane services.

You will provide technical guidance to drive long-term plans, mentor, scale others, build and creating new products, features and services from scratch, while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years.
