Want to quickly write a lot of new high-performance, algorithmic code in Rust and iterate quickly? Want to own and operate an AWS service in the AI/ML and data storage space, while maintaining the availability, data durability, performance, and security that AWS S3 customers expect?

In this role you will work closely with engineers and scientists to implement, invent, and optimize a service at AWS S3. You will also be responsible for defining and maintaining a high operational bar for the service. We hold high standards for our computer systems and the services we deliver to our customers: our systems are secure, highly reliable, highly available, all while functioning at massive scale.

This is a code-forward role with potential for Principal Engineer-level impact. The ideal candidate will be able to write elegant and maintainable code that consumes less resources than most people think possible, and be able to profile, optimize, and debug a large distributed service. There’s an element of algorithmic experimentation and discovery, as well as an opportunity to build operational excellence, and hear directly from our customers.
