Mobile Application Developer jobs

Amazon’s Intelligent Cloud Hosting (ICON) team is looking for a Software Development Engineer (SDE) to join our team!

Our team is responsible for hosting Amazon’s websites, which includes all of Amazon’s global marketplaces and partner portals as well as consumer experiences like Kindle, Alexa, Amazon Video, and the Mobile Application. We’re a diverse international team made up of engineers, developers, administrators and managers. Furthermore, we’re obsessed with operational quality, security, reducing cost, increasing availability and keeping the largest eCommerce infrastructure purring.

The challenges that SDEs solve at Amazon are big and influence millions of customers and stakeholders. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about creating new products, features, and services from scratch while managing ambiguity where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years. As a SDE on the team, you will solve complex, mission critical compute and operation problems from design to delivery. You will work on tier-1, multi-tenant, high performance systems, with technical challenges unique to this kind of scale and throughput.

A big part of our job is creating and updating strategic developer productivity tools built on AWS technology. We use these tools across Amazon to deploy, monitor and operate the hundreds of thousands of services that power our highly distributed architecture. Our tools include orchestration, predictive analytics, monitoring, issue diagnosis and automated repair. These let us deploy configurations that intelligently manage how traffic flows through our highly distributed architecture to our delighted customers.

Key job responsibilities

• Design and build innovative technologies in a large distributed computing environment and help lead fundamental changes in the organization.
• Collaborate with a team of truly innovative engineers and product managers to understand and refine the scope of incoming projects, and to ensure deliverables meet a high quality bar.
• Design and code the right solutions, starting with broadly defined problems.
• Work in an agile environment to deliver high-quality software.
• Mentor other engineers on the team and continuously raise the bar on design and code.
• Solve complex and ambiguous problems as ICON continues to scale.

About the team
We own connecting Amazon worldwide websites and other experiences such as Kindle, Amazon Video, and Alexa to the internet, as well as ensuring the highest level of availability, security and privacy of the web services that power the experience we deliver to our customers worldwide. We abstract, centralize and optimize the infrastructure management from individual service teams and operate 120+ Tier-1 services on behalf of teams in the Worldwide Amazon Stores org. We own the routing layer built on top of AWS technology that connects traffic at low latency and protects the web services against malicious robot and DDoS attacks.
