Job Description
DescriptionWe are looking for a customer-obsessed Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE 3) to join our Engineering Services team. In this role you will lead the design and delivery of cloud-native production-ready software and infrastructure that our customers integrate into their own offerings. You'll own team-level architecture, drive technical strategy, and build the repeatable, scalable solutions that transform how ProServe delivers value — while conveying Amazon development practices to our customers. The ideal candidate is a technical leader who loves to learn and invent. As members of AWS Professional Services, we are not stewards of a single AWS service but of the entire AWS platform — keeping abreast of the ever-widening stream of platform improvements and new services. The candidate should have strong system design and architecture skills, deep experience making software design and implementation trade-offs, and the ability to lead projects that span multiple engineers. Experience with modern cloud-native applications, distributed systems at scale, and DevOps practices are highly applicable. Key job responsibilities
