[Tsinghua-NC] Massive Scale and Ridiculous Reliability: Join Amazon



As you may have heard, Amazon is growing at a fast pace, and our software engineers work on interesting, exciting problems. I have found that Tsinghua CS graduate pass our bar at an extremely high rate. If you are interested in building large-scale distributed systems, have a flair for innovation, and passion for solving some of the most challenging problems in the industry, we need you! You'll have an opportunity to work alongside and learn from the architects of Amazon's IT infrastructure, and to build the platform that drives the success of Amazon's businesses.

Take a look at two open Seattle-based positions:

1.       Senior Software Engineer:

We're looking for people who are smart and can get things done, though the following skill sets provide a good foundation for a quick ramp up to being productive in our Java, Linux and Oracle-based environment.

* Bachelor's Degree and/or Master's degree in Computer Science (or relevant equivalent)
* Proficiency in Java or C++ in a Linux or Unix environment
* Familiarity with Perl and SQL

* Database modeling skills
* Distributed systems experience
* Experience with mobile development
* Knowledgeable about security best practices

 

Position 2. Software Engineer-mid level-SABLE We are building a highly scalable, low latency, highly available, and cost effective storage platform with an integrated computation framework that powers Amazon retail and digital business.

Our flagship product, SABLE, is at the core of Amazon.com retail infrastructure. It more than 400 billion requests per day from Amazon.com websites, Web Services, and internal Amazon systems. Multiple tier-1 services contributing to the growth of Amazon businesses use SABLE to store customer orders, product information, subscriptions, etc to serve to Amazon customers in real time. The performance and availability of SABLE is critical to the smooth running of Amazon business. We run one of the largest fleet in Amazon and SABLE is the highest throughput service in Amazon.

Our mission is to build an integrated storage platform as a hosted service for all aspects of a business application development at Amazon, including multi-tiered storage options, authoritative (primary) storage, caching, pre-computation, on-demand computation, event notification, and search capability. Our engineers are customer-focused, strong performance analysts, Linux systems-savvy and good API designers. These skills help us define the bleeding edge for elegant, super-scalable services at Amazon.com.

The ideal candidate would have object-oriented programming experience in C++ or Java in the Unix environment, good understanding of Internet protocols including HTTP, DNS, and TCP, and strong problem solving and analytical skills.


Interested; or know of someone? Get in touch with me and I will set up discussions with the hiring team.

 

Regards,

Christine
