Key job responsibilities
1. This is a hands-on position in which you will own everything from end to end: requirements gathering, designs, design reviews, implementations, code reviews, incremental feature launches, operations, mentoring, and the driving of continuous improvement.
2. You solve difficult problems, applying appropriate technologies and best practices.4. You are proficient in a broad range of design approaches and know when it is appropriate to use them (and when it is not). Your solutions are pragmatic.
5. You consider the legacy of the code you produce and write code that an SDE unfamiliar with the system can understand.
6. You limit the use of short-term workarounds. You do things with the proper level of complexity the first time (or at least minimize incidental complexity).
7. You create flexible software without over-engineering. You make appropriate trade-offs, re-use where possible, and are judicious about introducing dependencies.
8. You are efficient with resource usage (e.g., system hardware, database, memory/CPU, etc.)A day in the life
The CloudFormation team values work-life balance. We generally keep core in-office hours from 10am to 5pm. We are builder-operators of our services at AWS and have an on-call rotation where you’ll participate once every 5-6 weeks. We work together to reduce our on-call load by ensuring that our systems are fault tolerant, and resolve the root cause of an issue so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
