Software Development Engineer, AWS Directory Service

1 week ago

Bothell, Washington, United States Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. Full time

AWS Directory Service is a fully managed service that allows customers to set up and run Active Directory in the AWS cloud.

It's a high-scale, highly available distributed system supporting sub-second latency micro-services to a large growing customer base. We support the scale of millions of requests per second and the service needs to be always available.

As a managed offering, we take care of building and maintaining a secure, complex, highly available directory topology for our customers to easily manage their users, groups and resources.

We also facilitate automated monitoring, fail-over and recovery, along with automated patching, updates and replication.


As part of the AWS Identity organization, we are pioneers in areas such as identity, access management, security and providing massively scaled, distributed platform capabilities to all of AWS.

Our mission is to build the most secure, reliable, scalable and performant authentication and authorization platform on the planet, which enables every AWS customer to have secure access to their resources.

We are building some of the largest and most complex distributed systems in the world, and we need passionate engineers like you to work with us on this mission


As a Software Development Engineer (SDE), you'll be part of a truly innovative team in a fast-paced environment that has the entrepreneurial feel of a start-up.

This is an opportunity to operate and engineer systems on a massive scale, and to gain top-notch experience in cloud computing.

You'll be surrounded by people who are smart, passionate about cloud computing, and believe that world class service is critical to customer success.

You will design and build the operational scalability that sustains the platform's insane growth.

Inclusive Team CultureHere at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally.

We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences.

Amazon's culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Work/Life BalanceOur team puts a high value on work-live balance.

It isn't about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it's about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life.

We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment.

We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months.

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.

Mentorship & Career GrowthOur team is dedicated to supporting new members.

We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.

Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.

We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a well-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
