Description

　　Are you passionate about technology and solving hard problems? Do you want to grow your skills as you help us grow and scale the world's largest cloud computing service? Do you want to make history and have fun doing it? If so, Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) is looking for people just like you! EC2 is at the core of AWS services and we are growing every day to meet the demands of our business as we continue to scale.

　　EC2 Nitro drives the planet’s largest, fastest growing and most feature-rich compute cloud. Nitro is AWS’s ground-up design for virtualization at global scale built on a fully custom stack of hardware, firmware and applications. Nitro has enabled EC2 to support Intel, AMD and Amazon’s custom silicon - Graviton2 - while raising the industry bar for security and performance across our product line. The EC2 Server Provisioning team is the assembly line for EC2, turning new servers into EC2 virtualized hosts running customer workloads across the globe. Every EC2 customer instance running on every host-type, in every data center , across the globe has passed through services operated by this team. Engineers on EC2 Server Provisioning become subject matter experts on distributed, asynchronous services running at global scale.

　　The EC2 Provisioning team lays the foundation on which every EC2 service - both internal and external - runs. The team is responsible for the software infrastructure that is required to make racks of hardware received from manufacturing into cloud infrastructure that allows our customers to run the wide variety of EC2 instances that are available today. The scale of this problem spans many millions of this devices across globe and every new EC2 instance type launched is built through EC2 Provisioning services. To add some spice to the challenge - the infra must be able to manage live devices without any down time to our customer and keep the growing EC2 fleet healthy.

　　The infra and technologies needed to this are growing and innovating at rapid pace. Work is primarily done in Java and includes the full lifecycle of software development, including requirements, system design, implementation, testing, monitoring, alarming and reporting. Software Development Engineers work closely with EC2 Principal Engineers and other technical leaders to refine technical direction, and then follow through with detailed analysis, designs, and high quality code.
