Description

AWS Alameda is shaping the future of how Control Planes for AWS Services will be offered. Alameda team builds innovative and secure technologies on a massive scale that manage the control planes for the AWS services and keep them secure and scalable for their customers. As a software development engineer on this team, you will leverage modern technologies and AWS services to empower AWS service teams to be more productive. We have dozens of AWS services launched, and now working on migrating some of the biggest AWS Services to Alameda.

AWS service teams spend a significant amount of their development effort on creating, maintaining and improving their Control Plane software. This means the cost of offering a new piece of software as a managed service is often orders of magnitude higher than simply creating the new software. The AWS Alameda centralizes this work, saving each of these many AWS teams the cost of creating, maintaining and improving Control Planes. Alameda automates the creation and maintenance of infrastructure and software for both the Control Plane and the Data Plane of newly managed services. Alameda offers building blocks that fully abstract a single functionality as a managed services, which can be extended to offer custom business logic for a specific AWS Service. Alameda offers the full control plane for AWS Services by allowing seamless composition of building blocks that work together to provide a full managed AWS service experience.

We are looking for world-class software developers who like to deliver software solutions that solve business problems and delight your customers with efficiency and productivity gains. You have development experience with technologies like AWS, Java, TypeScript, CDK, and DynamoDB.

Come shape the future of some of the largest AWS services operating at scale, and have an opportunity to work with Sr. SDEs, PEs and Sr. PEs across RDS, Aurora and the broader databases space. Your work will have AWS-wide impact. Interested? Ping usmanr@ / mlezc@ to learn more!”
