Software Development Engineer, AWS Metering, AWS Billing Data

AWS Metering is one of Amazon's largest big data processing teams. Computing AWS bills is, at its core, a large-scale distributed systems problem that requires processing trillions of usage records every hour. Our systems process over 2 billion events per second and more than 1.6 petabytes per hour for millions of customers, with a 100% accuracy commitment—and this volume grows 2x every 14 months. We solve complex computer science problems around idempotency, once-and-only-once processing, and hot-partition management, all at an extraordinary scale across globally distributed services. As a foundational system, we are dedicated to scaling with the growth of AWS. As a software engineer on this team, you will develop and improve large-scale distributed systems built on AWS services. You will learn new technologies and build new applications on big data platforms. AWS Metering is on the critical path of Billing—your work will be used by hundreds of AWS teams, impact millions of external customers, and save millions of dollars in cost. 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.
