Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leader in Cloud Computing. More and more people are depending on us to "just be there" to power their businesses, their homes, their lives - and we are! But in a world of ever accelerating complexity, demands, and new amazing applications, how do we ensure our services are always "just there" when our customers (and our customers' customers) need us? Well, that's where you come in!

The AWS EC2 Static Stability team is responsible for ensuring every service has a known confirmed recovery path from failure. We own figuring out how things can fail, making them fail, and then ensuring they can recover from anything the world throws at them. We walk where others fear to tread - we embrace chaos and complexity so we can better understand how to make our systems resilient in the event of natural (e.g. power outages such as lightning strikes) and unnatural (e.g. power outages from human error) events. We have a mandate to operate across all of AWS to ensure our services are the most resilient - period.

Are you are inspired by figuring out how things work, how to break them, and then how to make them better, stronger, faster? Can you can abstract deep technical architectures to find the one point of weakness to press on and then figure out how to eliminate that without service interruption? If yes, then we want to talk to you. This role is for those who insist on nothing but the highest level of reliability for their customers, and for those who have the chops to deliver.

As a Software Development Engineer (SDE) on the AWS EC2 Static Stability team, you will contribute to a wide range of resiliency projects in a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment. You will become part of an industry-leading engineering team, working with technologies like Java, C, and Python, solving challenging problems at massive scale. We are busy expanding our team in Arlington, Virginia, and have multiple positions available. If you join us, you will be rewarded with the opportunity to work with a highly visible AWS team which enables the world leading AWS to operate at scale!
