Description

Software Development Engineer-Simple Email Service

Amazon SES is building a team to build richer and more engaging experiences to our customers. We are innovating new ways for enable businesses to run targeted campaigns and drive user engagement through email.

In the SES team you will be joining an engineering team where the entire development of the service occurs in Dublin. You will have the opportunity to impact the service roadmap and be given the time to be creative and think of new features that we can provide our customers. You will own and implement specific components, build highly available, secure, scalable, distributed and event-driven systems and help define the system architecture.

This is a full-stack development position, leaning towards back-end work.

On-Call Responsibility

This position involves on-call responsibilities. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.

Applications and Higher Level Abstractions (Apps)

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.
