Description

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Annapurna Labs, an Amazon company, plays a significant role in AWS's success with developing Graviton servers.

Graviton servers are ARM-based processors that provide better performance and cost-effectiveness for running various compute-intensive applications on the cloud.

As a Python Software Development Engineer in our team, you will be responsible for the Graviton servers' software quality.

That includes setting up and maintenance of lab and cloud environments, writing test-plans, automating them and troubleshooting issues.

You will take part in designing, developing, and maintaining our automation frameworks and will work closely with developers to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality Graviton servers to our customers.

As a part of this team, you will solve difficult technical problems, work on test frameworks, test tools, and test case automation for large components. You will build and apply solutions that assess and mitigate quality risks on the Graviton servers.

Experience coding in python and testing embedded systems are both key to success.

You are able to function as a significant autonomous contributor, providing consistently high quality work, and maintainable code.

You will apply software testing techniques and assess the testability of components/features built by development teams
