Join the Amazon Web Services EC2 Instance Connectivity development team responsible for connectivity services to AWS EC2 instances. This team owns services that enhance customers' observability and troubleshooting by providing a suite of tools to connect to their EC2 instances that adhere to enterprise scaling and security requirements.

Beyond meeting the technical qualifications, we seek an engineer who is creative, responsible, and eager to dig deep into technologies. We need a problem solver who wants to understand business challenges, operational issues, and software architecture, and how the three connect. We're looking for someone excited to learn from others while bringing independent ideas and perspectives, and someone who helps make the team productive and enjoyable to work in.

A day in the life

Each engineer owns one or more projects and is responsible for the entire software lifecycle, from design to development and operations.

We review every piece of each others’ code and offer feedback and tips to improve.
