Description

AWS Applications and Higher Level Abstractions (Apps) provides horizontal and industry vertical applications for business users with the same on-demand scalability, reliability, pay-as-you-go pricing, and machine learning expertise that drive AWS services. The AWS Applications group includes services such as Amazon Connect (a cost-effective cloud contact center), our End User Computing (including Amazon Workspaces, AppStream, etc.), Marketing Tech (Amazon Pinpoint), and Autonomous Checkout and Biometric Identity Services (Just Walk Out, Amazon One) for retail, sports, travel, and other verticals.

Amazon WorkSpaces Core is a fully managed, infrastructure only, VDI offering that includes a set of APIs for customers and third-party VDI software providers wanting to integrate with Amazon WorkSpaces purpose built VDI infrastructure. WorkSpaces Core allows IT administrators to continue using their familiar VDI software solution and end users can continue using their existing VDI client software. This results in a consistent end-user experience.

If you are someone who is excited to work on a massively distributed solution that upholds security, five nines availability, scalability, reliability and fault-tolerant tenets inherent to AWS services then join us! If you are someone who is looking for opportunities to innovate and creatively solve unique challenges then join us!

Apart from the above, you should also be somebody who is highly motivated, customer-centric, and is extremely passionate about building quality software as well as achieving operational excellence. A commitment to team work, hustle, and strong communication skills (to both business and technical partners) are essential. From an engineering perspective, it is a great opportunity to build distributed systems, using industry leading AWS constructs such as EC2, EBS, DynamoDB, EMR and SWF.
