Description

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build intelligence into enterprise systems so that we can enable near human-like conversations with our systems? In addition, does the thought of designing and modeling highly secure, fault-tolerant systems that scale to thousands of transactions per second (TPS) excite you?

Why Amazon Lex?

Amazon Lex is a platform for building conversational interfaces into any application using voice and text. Amazon Lex provides the advanced deep learning functionalities of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for converting speech to text, and natural language understanding (NLU) to recognize the intent of the text, to enable you to build applications with highly engaging user experiences and lifelike conversational interactions. With Amazon Lex, the same deep learning technologies that power Amazon Alexa are now available to any developer, enabling you to quickly and easily build sophisticated, natural language, conversational bots (“chatbots”).

What is special about the team?

Be a part of a well-balanced team with a diverse experience that is making strides in evolving the conversational platform for Amazon Web Services (AWS). The team, a tight-knit group, operates in a fast-paced and fun environment where accuracy, timeliness, quality and security form the operative cornerstones. As owners of the entire lifecycle, team members participate in a shared customer resolution program to delight customers. Additionally, the team has collaborative leaders in various roles - product development, natural language science and engineering management who form the critical support structure for delivering innovative features.

What will I work on?

Come work on new features as well as green-field projects where you can make a significant positive impact on a community of international customers. As a Software Development Engineer, you should have a passion for delivery, drive for excellence and penchant for quality. You will practice development practices such as load testing and continuous deployment while solving technical challenges in system design, distributed computing, algorithms and back-end services.

Software Engineers at Amazon do so much more than just software development. We'll be looking at you to help:

· Decide what features to build.

· Drive software engineering best practice.

· Design distributed and scalable systems.

· Test and document the software you develop.
