The cloud computing platform Amazon Web Services (AWS) has provided a highly robust and scalable web services platform for years. Using this platform, developers and their organizations are able to innovate faster and operate their infrastructures in a cost-effective manner. The range of services offered with AWS is continuously expanding, and covers on-demand storage, compute and network capacity, as well as a growing list of application services. The team in the Netherlands is working on one of these application services for AWS. We are using all the bleeding edge technologies provided by AWS to build it.

Like existing AWS services, it is designed to be robust, scalable and of high performance. We are looking for a senior Java software developer to join our team and help define this new service. In this role, you will provide technical leadership for the team. You will design and develop solutions that will help our customers and shape the product and the industry. You will be working together with other developers, system engineers and testers. Together with them, you will build high performance, reliable digital systems that will massively scale on millions of servers. You will help establish performance and technical standards for the systems we build. You will need to be a pragmatic visionary who can translate business needs into workable technology solutions and be willing and able to roll up your sleeves and contribute to all phases of product development.
