DESCRIPTION

Job summary
More and more enterprise companies are moving to the cloud so they can focus on business instead of technical debt. It’s a critical time for cloud providers, and Amazon Web Services is investing in making sure we continue to offer the world’s best customer experience for these complex migrations.

If the idea of accelerating a historic shift in technology excites you, apply to join us in the AWS Migration Services group. We are expanding by adding a new team to build a brand new service, and looking for talented engineers obsessed with customer experience and operational excellence.

As a Software Development Engineer on our team, you will design, build, and operate AWS services that will help large enterprise companies move their computing into AWS.

Work/Life Balance
We understand that sometimes you need to work from home. Outside of quarantine, our team is co-located in the East Palo Alto, CA office and we work from home as needed for a doctor’s appointments, to take our kids to school, pick them up, and do the things that can’t be done from the office.

Mentorship & Career Growth
We are dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.
