AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector.
The Public Sector Customer Engineering team helps customers solve their most interesting business challenges by rapidly developing innovative prototypes using world-class cloud and open-source technologies. We’ve helped customers by using image recognition to find missing persons, Artificial Intelligence to optimise rideshares, and Machine Learning to grade exam answers. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join the team.
Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer, you will;
Design, develop, test and deploy well-architected software
Feel a real sense of achievement from completing and delivering projects in less time than you thought possible.
Get hands-on with a range of technologies and practice a range of disciplines: back-end, front-end, DevOps, machine learning, data science, data architecture. We are curious generalists who don’t pigeon-hole ourselves as particular “flavours” of engineer and never say “that’s not my job”.
Collaborate with customers through full engagements; you’ll learn about their business challenges, rapidly design and develop prototypes to solve them, showcase the functionality you’ve written in demos and finally see the difference you’ve made when customers deploy solutions into their production environments.
Work with the latest AWS services and open-source technologies to build your prototypes. You’ll always be encouraged to pick the right tools for the job.
A day in the life
You will have the opportunity to be part of one of the fastest growing, customer obsessed, and innovative companies in the world. You will be able to dive deep into the details on operations and engineering. Everyone is a leader at AWS. You will have a lot of ownership and autonomy. You will face unique challenges, learn from some of the brightest minds in the industry and build deep expertise in the most sought after skills in the market. You will be part of an exceptional team of product managers and engineers where collaboration is highly valued, where innovation is something that happens every day, where taking risks is encouraged, and every day is Day One.
You’ll have access to a wealth of Amazon internal training, including instructor-led courses and talks from experts. This will give you the opportunity to become an AWS expert, gaining valuable expertise in AWS services used in Generative AI, Machine Learning, IoT, image recognition, chat bots, and Big Data. We will provide the environment and support to learn any new tools, libraries or frameworks.
