Software Development Engineer - Datapath

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Datapath is a foundational platform that is core to Amazon's eCommerce business. Amazon customers using Kindle, Prime, Instant Video, Fulfillment, or just shopping online, depend on a highly available server backend provided by the Datapath platform. Engineers on the Datapath team design, build, and maintain highly scalable distributed systems that execute business logic, authored by teams across Amazon, millions of times per second in real-time.
Datapath Precompute is a hosted platform that executes business logic when the underlying data changes and persists the computed value or publish it to update stream. Datapath Precompute is a view materialization platform for the Datapath Query Language. Precomputation enables use cases that are latency prohibitive to compute on the fly (e.g., retail website), or requires update streams from various sources (e.g., Search).

As a Software Development Engineer on the Datapath Precompute team you will solve complex, mission critical compute problems throughout the software development lifecycle, including design, development, testing and operations. You must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven and deliver high quality results in a fast paced environment. You need to enjoy working closely in a peer group of highly talented engineers.

We are looking for smart, results oriented people, preferably with the following skill sets to assist with a quick ramp up to being productive in our multi-threaded Java, Linux and NoSQL environment. We're looking for a range of experience, from brilliant and motivated new college graduates to seasoned and battle scarred technical leaders.
