Systems Development Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Come build the future of cloud with the Amazon Linux Team!

The Amazon Linux team builds, maintains and distributes both internal and external (public) versions of Amazon Linux Distributions. Externally, Amazon Linux Distributions serve as the reference implementation for Linux offerings on EC2, the Elastic Compute Cloud that is the basis for much of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Internally, Amazon Linux serves as the primary foundation upon which much of Amazon's infrastructure is built. We're also responsible for tools associated with the performance characterization, telemetry, qualification, build and deployment of our Linux Distributions.

Systems Development Engineers work with technical leaders to refine technical direction, and then follow through with detailed analysis, designs, and superior code. They are equally comfortable leading small, focused project teams as well as making major direct contributions to the project. They deliver features with minimal direct oversight.

The baseline individual for this role is expected to be comfortable with Linux fundamentals, building distributed systems and automation (preferably in Python or similar languages). Willingness to learn and contribute to Linux Packaging (RPM /Debian) are a must.

Experience with system development (in C,C++, Rust etc), Linux packaging (RPM/Debian) and open source contributions is a plus.

This team creates the very core of the cloud - come help us make history!
