Key job responsibilities
WHAT DOES A SOFTWARE ENGINEER DO AT AMAZON?
Amazon has a collaborative, purposeful and enthusiastic environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a typical day engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational issues.
As a software engineer in Amazon, you will have technical ownership of your designs and services. Responsibilities include designing, coding, reviewing, testing, fixing, researching, deploying and maintaining services and code in Amazon cloud production environments.
A day in the life
We are looking for software engineers who use technology to solve problems in collaboration with team members. You may create or have responsibility to improve or invent small tools or components. You will have the ability to take a defined design and turn it into code and deliver it on schedule, using appropriate technologies and seeking input and guidance from senior engineers in the team. You will write secure, stable, testable, maintainable code with minimal defects. You may also be part of an on-call rotation within your team and, in the event of problems, are able to troubleshoot, research the root cause and thoroughly resolve defects.
