Full Job Description

We build innovative and secure technologies on a massive scale that manage the control planes for the AWS services and keep them secure and scalable for their customers. As a software development engineer on this team, you will leverage modern technologies and AWS services to empower AWS service teams to be more productive.

AWS service teams spend a significant amount of their development effort on creating, maintaining and improving their Control Plane software.

The AWS Alameda centralizes this work, saving each of these many AWS teams the cost of creating, maintaining and improving Control Planes. Alameda automates the creation and maintenance of infrastructure and software for both the Control Plane and the Data Plane of newly managed services. Alameda offers building blocks that fully abstract a single functionality as a managed services, which can be extended to offer custom business logic for a specific AWS Service. Alameda offers the full control plane for AWS Services by allowing seamless composition of building blocks that work together to provide a full managed AWS service experience.

We are looking for world-class software developers who like to deliver software solutions that solve business problems and delight your customers with efficiency and productivity gains. You have development experience with technologies like AWS, Java, TypeScript, CDK, and DynamoDB.

Alameda is part of AWS Utility Computing (UC) that provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
