About the role

DESCRIPTION

AWS Service Quotas is a small, high-leverage team that delivers outsized impact across all of AWS. We provide the centralized platform that gives AWS customers a single, consistent experience for viewing, managing, and requesting increases to their service quotas - regardless of which AWS service they use. Rather than navigating dozens of different service-specific workflows, customers come to one place to understand their limits, monitor usage, and unlock capacity when they need it.

Because every AWS service has quotas, and every AWS customer interacts with them, our work touches the entire AWS ecosystem. A single improvement we ship can positively impact millions of customers and directly remove friction from the path to increased AWS consumption and revenue growth.

We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer who thrives on solving complex distributed systems problems at massive scale. You will design and build the services, APIs, and console experiences that define how customers interact with quotas across all of AWS. You'll work closely with hundreds of AWS service teams to drive adoption, improve automation, and ensure a seamless customer experience.

Key job responsibilities

Design and build highly available, scalable services that serve as the backbone of quota management for all of AWS

Drive architectural decisions that improve the consistency and reliability of the customer experience across 200+ integrated AWS services

Develop automation that enables intelligent, real-time quota adjustments - reducing customer friction and accelerating workload growth

Partner with AWS service teams to integration coverage, improve applied quota visibility, and increase automated approval rates

Mentor engineers on the team and raise the technical bar through code reviews, design reviews, and operational excellence

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience

5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience

5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience

Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience

Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
