Key job responsibilities

A Software Development Engineer with AWS Ground Station supports the development and delivery of key features as we innovate for our customers. On our team you will use your expertise to:

• Design systems that ensure all parts of the service operate effectively with each other.

• Collaborate with peers to evaluate requirements and technologies that close the gap between customer needs and service functionality.

• Identify opportunities for optimization to make the service more efficient and cost effective.

• Software development engineer positions require a depth and breadth of knowledge in design and development, experience with agile methodologies, proficiency in a high-level language, and experience building highly scalable systems involving distributed services and persistent storage.

Fully leveraging AWS technologies, you'll grow a new ecosystem in the cloud that’s committed to low operational burden by designing for it. You will prioritize your activities to support product development, solve problems and blockers, and focus on the actions that are most impactful for program success. The Ground Station team puts work-life balance, personal, and professional growth as a principle, not a goal.
