Key job responsibilities
As an SDE in S3's Storage Persistence team, you will build the services that persist and retrieve customer data. The services you will own are the foundation of S3, and managing them at the scale of S3 provides challenging technical problems that you will solve. That scale provides leverage for your work to improve the experience of many customers, and you will tackle some of the most difficult problems in S3 head-on. You will be responsible for the design and implementation of new components and improvements to services within our space, and will work with other engineers on your team to deliver.On-Call Responsibility
In AWS, if you build it, you own it. We pride ourselves on a high level of ownership in the work we do. This means we hold a high bar for test automation, verification processes, design, and code reviews to ensure that our systems meet the exacting standards we demand in service of our customers. This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week in every eight. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.Mentorship & Career GrowthA day in the life
