Job Description
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 EC2 Release Reliability team is responsible for building tools and systems that will help Control Plane services teams to achieve fast, fully-automated safe deployments. Our vision is to build low-friction, fully automated deployment coordination systems, with self-testing and self-correcting capabilities. To achieve this, we’re building integration testing frameworks, coordination services and infrastructure to make it easier for EC2 engineers to write high-quality code and deploy it quickly and safely.


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 algorithms that optimize the placement of EC2 instances
· Develop systems that improve the customer experience for launching EC2 instances
