Software Developer Engineer, Amazon WorkSpaces Core Managed Instances
AWS — The world's largest cloud platform
About the role
As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use. In this role, you will design, develop, and operate massively scalable distributed systems that power virtual desktop experiences. You'll work across the full technology stack—from intuitive end-user experiences and robust platform services to the underlying system components that enable seamless provisioning, management, and performance at scale. Collaborating with a diverse team of talented engineers, you'll solve complex technical challenges, build customer-focused solutions, and directly influence the experience of organizations worldwide. This role is ideal for engineers who are passionate about innovation, enjoy tackling difficult distributed systems problems, value business impact as much as technical excellence, and thrive in a collaborative, learning-focused environment that supports work-life balance. Amazon WorkSpaces Core provides managed virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) that integrates with third-party management solutions. Amazon WorkSpaces Core enables technology partners to build flexible and customizable desktop solutions while benefiting from the security, global availability, and cost efficiency of AWS infrastructure. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces-core/latest/pg/intro.html About the team ABOUT AWS: Diverse Experiences Amazon values diverse experiences.

Why AWS Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.

When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud. Inclusive Team Culture Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious.
