Blink is the result of one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns ever, growing the business at an astounding rate since the first product introduction in 2016. Blink products are manufactured in multiple places around the globe and the data we need to build these products needs to transfer quickly and securely to keep up with the pace. We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to join our team and continue breaking new ground in our Manufacturing Intelligence. Come and help us design and develop the next generation of manufacturing support, build useful dashboards to help our Customers fully understand how production is running in real time across the world.

Key job responsibilities
As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you will oversee a significant portion of software development for both AWS and on-premises environments. While most of our software is Python-based, you will also work with Java, TypeScript, Go, React, SQL, and other technologies.

In this role, you'll collaborate closely with our Product Manager, manufacturing test engineers, and QA teams across various contract manufacturing partners. You will lead a team of engineers, guiding the design, development, deployment, and operational excellence efforts, and champion best practices in these areas.

You will mentor other developers through code and design reviews, and one-on-one sessions, and participate in the hiring process. Your responsibilities will include facilitating secure and efficient data transfer to and from our contract manufacturing partners and support site-related enhancements.

Key responsibilities include:
- Managing databases with SQL or automated scripts to ensure data integrity.
- Developing unit tests and AWS-specific tests to validate code functionality.
- Integrating new AWS technologies like Kinesis, Greengrass IoT, and EventBridge to optimize data transfer processes.
- Building websites, dashboards, and other tools to present data to our customers on both AWS and on-premises devices.

A day in the life
The day starts by checking any tickets, dashboard, Cloudwatch Alarms for anything that has occurred over night. Once we have the daily data the team will do a stand up to discuss things that happened the day before and what will happen today. After which we'll dive into the sprint tasks. You'll be deeply involved with AWS and working applications deployed at the contract manufacturer's (CM) sites.

About the team
In our group we embrace what it means to be full stack from backend, web, database, to dashboards. Our team is fluid and able to move within applications as necessary. Sometimes we do lunch and learns to share fun things we've learned or have lunch with other groups. As the Manufacturing Intelligence team we help show our customers how the factories are performing in a way not done before within Amazon. We use the latest AWS processes and are security compliant with our data and information that flows through to our CMs.
