The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity team builds, operates, and innovates the identity, authentication, and authorization stack for the AWS cloud. Our mission is to push the technical boundaries to enable AWS customers to run their business workloads confidently and securely. As part of this mission, we leverage customer obsession and technologies to help customers set appropriate access controls across all their AWS environments. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables customers to secure their workloads in the cloud by providing authentication and authorization mechanisms. With the growth of AWS, the workloads and access patterns keep evolving, demanding the next order of magnitude scalability. We are looking for strong software engineers to build the next generation functionality in this area. Individuals interested in this position should have experience building high-performing, reliable systems in a complex, multi-tenancy, and distributed environment in a highly contingent environment. We desire you to have an established background in design, development and operations of highly scalable and available distributed systems. You must have strong technical skills, excellent project management skills, great communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast-paced environment. It is a highly technical space. You are a strong technical contributor who understands the big picture, drives prioritization, builds consensus, and rallies the team behind it. Responsibilities include driving architecture, design, and implementation of complex components while maintaining an uncompromising bar on quality and mentoring junior developers for software within the team. Utility Computing (UC) AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services. Key job responsibilities include leading the team's software development, working with peers on related teams, ensuring the delivery of working software systems spanning the full software lifecycle including design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance strategy, designing and reviewing others' work to ensure it fits into the bigger picture and is well designed, extensible, performant, and secure, solving problems through the use of non-technical solutions, ensuring the team has good operational practices, and ensuring team growth by training, recruiting, assessing, and providing career guidance to team members. A day in the life involves communicating a lot with the team, peers, and management over different channels; preparing and reviewing design docs, project plans, features one pagers, incident retrospectives, change requests, and progress reports; and writing and reviewing code, working with CI/CD tools. About the team AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) enables customers to secure their workloads in the cloud by providing authentication and authorization mechanisms to all of AWS. We enable our customers to manage their credentials and access policies in the AWS cloud. We operate some of the largest distributed systems in the world, processing billions of transactions per second world-wide. The IAM Control Plane teams are working on the next generation architecture for IAM aiming to improve the scaling, and availability of the system. This team will be responsible for designing, building and delivering on core storage fleet management components, including workloads for building fleets, remediating failures, managing data replication, providing disaster recovery capabilities and similar. About AWS Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.
