Role details:
Amazon Development Centre South Africa is looking for passionate, experienced software developers to join us and help to solve a challenging set of problems in space packed full of opportunities. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides Amazon’s developer customers with access to in-the-cloud infrastructure services based on Amazon's own back-end technology platform, which developers can use to enable virtually any type of business. The Cape Town based Development Center plays a key role in building the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the web service that is pioneering cloud computing by providing resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It gives any developer complete control of their computing resources and lets them run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. We are continuing to build the team in order to expand on our feature set and manage our rapidly increasing scale.
The DB platform team is responsible for building and managing the DB fleet service, that supports Control plane’s workflows.
We focus on building highly available software that covers all aspects of a totally automated fleet management system.
By ensuring that the fleet is always available and responsive to Control plane’s requests, we can serve hundreds of thousands of EC2 instance launches every day and provide a unique customer experience at scale
The ideal candidate will be clearly passionate about the large opportunity that Amazon EC2 presents and about web services in general. This person has thrived and succeeded in delivering high quality solutions in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift fast. If you’re looking to solve problems ranging from efficient resource allocation in the face of imperfect information, building touchless automation to manage millions of machines, or sifting through billion row databases looking for patterns then drop us a line.
Amazon is an equal opportunity employer.
Responsibilities
· Design, implement and deploy mission-critical systems that work at the scale of the EC2 fleet
· Develop systems that improve the customer experience for launching EC2 instances
· Improve and optimize the performance of existing systems
· Ensure the smooth and stable operation of the team’s services
