Description

The AWS Step Functions team is on a mission to transform the way developers architect, build, and orchestrate large scale serverless applications that are scalable and secure out of the box. Our goal is to enable pain free workflow orchestration and let developers focus their time on bringing new ideas to life quickly and easily by removing the undifferentiated heavy lifting. We are in the process of building a set of new capabilities in Amazon Vancouver which will help us achieve this mission for AWS customers across the world.

We are looking for software development engineers that are passionate about creating application software that underpins the Step Functions system. On any given day we use a multitude of technologies including Java, DynamoDB, EC2, and CloudFormation, as well as other public AWS services and a host of Amazon-internal tools. We don’t expect you to be an expert in, or necessarily even be familiar with, all of the technologies listed above, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them!

How do you know if you are a good fit for us? You are fascinated by and want to innovate in distributed fault-tolerant systems that operate at scale. You love customers. When our customers ask for the next big feature, you know this means you’ll be able to truly dig into the solution and get it done right. You love owning the project from idea to production, delivering not only in the implementation but in all phases from the kernel of an idea to quickly getting that battle-tested code into production. You enjoy collaborating with your teammates. You enjoy autonomy and strive to take on more accountabilities and master new skills.
