Do you enjoy solving real world customer issues and complex technical problems at a large scale using a wide range of technologies? Are you interested in building storage systems that provide fault tolerant, high performance, low cost durable storage “in the cloud”? In this role you will be joining a team within the Elastic Block Storage organization to build a new tier 1 AWS service that will provide AWS customers the next level of block storage experience. If the idea of building large scale systems that enable Exabyte scale excites you then this is the right opportunity for you.

As an engineer, you will get the opportunity to architect large-scale distributed systems, improve availability and performance, and innovate to increase hardware resource utilization to improve costs for our customers. You will have an opportunity to develop distributed systems that will manage millions of hardware resources and ensure health of the overall storage system. There will be multiple opportunities to work at different levels in the storage and networking stack while pushing on the latest innovations to set industry standards. The ideal candidate would possess analytical, design, problem solving skills and experience in building & operating large scale systems. You will work closely with a tight, agile team that ships often, iterates quickly and takes pride in the product they deliver.
