Amazon Development Center USA hiring for Software Development Engineer, dbrown RUP Reserve jobs in West Mclean, VA, US

Join a team of software development engineers who are building public EC2 VPC API methods. These are the methods by which customers configure network connectivity between their EC2 instances and other compute resources, using VPCs, subnets, gateways, route tables, etc. Learn more at https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/.

Development is primarily in Java, with some tooling written in Ruby, Python, etc. We are engaged in all parts of the software development lifecycle, including designing, coding, and testing.

This position involves on-call responsibilities typically for two weeks every 8 weeks. While on-call, you are expected to begin mitigating any service outage 24/7 within minutes. We don't like to get paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to determine the root cause and make changes to prevent future pages for the same issues.

We believe good code reviews raise our code quality, grow our technical acumen, and provide opportunities to support and share knowledge within the team. We are responsible for supporting our own code in production and we take our code reviews seriously and ship code every day.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members and encouraging curiosity. We are a team of mostly mid-level engineers who enjoy helping junior engineers grow through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, kind code reviews. We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated and reliable; someone who will help us build on the team culture we have been cultivating.

We offer comprehensive relocation and benefit packages!

Work/Life Balance

We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment.

Mentorship & Career Growth
- Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.
