    Description

    The Amazon ECS team is responsible for building and operating Containers solution to help customers run containerized microservices on AWS. We have an ambitious roadmap that seeks to redefine how our customers build their applications and run them at scale. We seek to let developers take full-advantage of the speed, agility, and immutability that containers offer so they can focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure.

    ECS is a fast growing business and we are expanding our team to help build additional features for our customers. This is a great time to join a growing team and help influence what we can do for customers who are adopting serverless containers and all the benefits ECS brings them.

    We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our development team on the ECS Control Plane. This team works closely with various teams across AWS. We have several exciting projects on our roadmap for 2026, especially with a focus on enabling more ML/AI workloads on top of ECS. If you are interested in building high-performance software, passionate about abstracting infrastructure management for AWS customers, and looking to grow your technical career, this job is for you.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
