DESCRIPTION
Are you excited about the incredible opportunity that cloud computing represents? Are you passionate about delivering high quality services and ready to apply your experience at massive scale?
Amazon Web Services' Cloud Storage, AWS S3, is one of the largest distributed storage systems in the world. We host trillions of objects and serve millions of requests per second and we're growing more than 100% year over year.
Are you interested in how we keep our customers' data secure at S3 scale? With trillions of objects to manage, and millions of requests per second, and growing fast, there are plenty of unique challenges to tackle. Leaders in the S3 Secure Communication Core team work on some of the hardest computer science problems.
We are looking for a passionate, experienced Software Development Engineer to build next generation security solutions that will continue to keep our customers data safe.
Building on top of a flexible web service requires exceptional technical expertise, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of Computer Science, and practical experience leading large-scale distributed systems. You should be somebody who enjoys working on complex system software, is customer-centric, and feels strongly not only about building good software but about making that software achieve its goals in operational reality. Come join us and help solve a challenging set of problems in a space packed full of opportunities.
