Description
If solving complex distributed systems problems at massive scale excites you, EBS Placement is the place to do it. Our team builds and operates the systems that decide where every EBS volume lives across AWS's storage fleet — infrastructure that serves exabytes of data and trillions of I/Os every day. Every EBS customer, from startups to the world's largest enterprises, depends on the decisions our systems make.
We're looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to drive the technical direction of placement systems — from real-time decision engines that place customer volumes in milliseconds to background fleet optimizers that continuously rebalance heat and respond to shifting fleet topology and customer workload patterns. You'll lead the design of solutions to complex problems involving multi-dimensional optimization — balancing performance, availability, durability, density, and cost — at a scale and complexity few systems operate at.
