Over the past 20 years people have discovered that networked clusters of inexpensive computers can create systems more powerful than monolithic mainframes. This process also allows engineers to build a machine to solve small problems and add capacity continuously as the problems scale up, or split one large machine into multiple smaller ones temporarily. On Amazon’s Elastic Block Store (EBS) team, we’re bringing that same revolution from computing to storage. And we’re also providing it in the cloud, via a pay-as-you-go web service.
EBS delivers high-performing virtualized storage “in the cloud” for EC2, and is a key building block for many applications, from databases to distributed file systems to Hadoop clusters. Delivering a reliable, scalable, and high-performance service requires engineers with exceptional technical expertise and creativity. In addition, at Amazon, along with sup! erlative technical strength, we expect our engineers to interact with customers, to understand our business goals, and to innovate rapidly, delivering high-quality and ground-breaking functionality.
The ideal candidate for our team will be passionate about the large opportunity that Amazon EBS and EC2 present and about “Cloud Computing” in general. He or she will have strong design and implementation experience, in-depth knowledge of distributed systems architectures, and experience leading or mentoring other engineers. For this role in particular, experience defining and running hardware qualification and performance testing, delivering core systems or kernel components in C/C++, programming with multithreaded concurrent processing, and building hardware storage systems using RAID adapters, HBAs or other direct-attached technologies particularly valued, as is experience delivering embedded systems and/or large-scale automation systems. Knowledge of sto! rage protocols such as SATA and SCSI as well as storage techno! logies including magnetic and solid-state will be important for success.
- 5+ years of experience as professional software engineer
- 3+ years delivering core systems and/or kernel components in C/C++
- Experience with multithreaded concurrent processing
- Experience with storage technologies including magnetic and solid-state
- Experience developing core systems or kernel components
- Experience operating enterprise-scale distributed systems
- Background with scalable storage solutions
