The Amazon EventBridge team is on a mission to transform the way developers architect, build, and deploy large scale, event driven, applications that are scalable and secure out of the box.
Our goal is to make the development experience plumbing-free and let developers focus their time on bringing new ideas to life quickly and easily by removing the undifferentiated heavy lifting.
We are in the process of building a set of new capabilities in Amazon Vancouver which will help us achieve this mission for AWS customers across the world.
We are looking for software development engineers that are passionate about creating application software that underpins the EventBridge system.
On any given day, we use Java, GoLang, Lambda, DynamoDB, and CloudFormation, as well as other public AWS services and a host of Amazon-internal tools.
We don’t expect you to be an expert in, or necessarily even be familiar with, all of the technologies listed above, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them!
How do you know if you are a good fit for us? You are fascinated by and want to innovate in distributed fault-tolerant systems that operate at scale.
You love customers. When our customers ask for the next big feature, you know this means you’ll be able to truly dig into the solution and get it done right.
You love owning the project from idea to production, delivering not only in the implementation, but all phases from the kernel of an idea to quickly getting that battle-tested code in production.
You enjoy collaborating with your teammates. You enjoy autonomy and strive to take on more accountabilities and master new skills.
About Us
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee- led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally.
We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences.
Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.
Work / Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-live balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life.
We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment.
We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant.
When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.
Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
