Full Job Description

Amazon Web Services' Cloud Storage, AWS S3, is one of the largest distributed storage systems in the world. Managing trillions of objects in storage, retrieving them in sub-x ms, building software that deploys to tens of thousands of hosts, building applications serving billions of transactions per second, achieving 99.999999999% (you didn’t read that wrong, that’s 11 nines!) durability. These are just a few of the numbers that give you a sense of the scale of the exciting problems you will find every day working in Simple Storage Service (S3). Amazon S3 powers businesses across the globe that make the lives of consumers better daily.

Managing this growth auto-magically, without the need for customers to provision capacity, is what puts the "Simple" in Simple Storage Service (S3). S3 Index is looking for a passionate software engineer to build the next generation of S3 Index systems. In AWS, if you build it, you own it. S3 is a highly available 7x24 worldwide service requiring dedicated support from our engineering teams. We pride ourselves on a high level of ownership in the work we do. This means we hold a high bar for test automation, verification processes, design and code reviews to ensure that our systems meet the exacting standards our customers demand. We maintain a regular on-call rotation across our teams with engineers and managers all taking part to resolve issues that arise. We work hard to minimize getting paged in the middle of the night as we recognize that a well-rested
