Sr. Software Development Engineer, AWS Insights & Optimizations
The AWS Analytics and Machine Learning team, within AWS Billing and Cost Management, is seeking an experienced software engineer lead to join a team working to help AWS customers plan and monitor their cloud costs. Our product has high visibility and is an essential resource for AWS customers of all sizes.
Providing a scalable platform to support AWS’ expanding business is a complex architectural challenge, and accurate cost and usage information is a critical piece. Enterprise-level customers make large dollar-value decisions based on the timeliness, accuracy, and detail of the data provided by our products.
You will be the technical lead, taking on architectural challenges in processing billions of usage records and providing intelligent products to help customers understand, control, and estimate their costs. You will be empowered to think big, invent on behalf of our customers, make judgment calls and find elegant solutions to hard problems.
Key job responsibilities
- Tackle complex problems such as processing large volumes of data at low latency and cost.
- Deliver projects that delight our customers
- Lead by example your team, establishing high standards coding and operational practices.
- Coach and support a team of software developers with a wide mix of backgrounds and strengths
- Participate in interviews for other teams in the organization.
- Work with extraordinary teams delivering demanding projects.
- Collaborate with other teams and organizations to simplify solutions and deliver results to our customers.
