Software Development Engineer, EC2 Load Balancing - Metering, Analytics and Reporting Services

Software Development Engineer, EC2 Load Balancing - Metering, Analytics and Reporting Services

Do you want to help lead the cloud revolution and build software that thrives at immense scale?

AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) enables customers to build large scale highly available services. ELB automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions. ELB provides the entry point for building hyper scale, fault tolerant applications. While ELB has seen tremendous growth since launch we are still in the early stages of realizing our full potential.

This role is for the ELB Metering, Analytics and Reporting Services (MARS) team. The team’s mission is to architect and build a unified metrics system for ELB products to support various data-driven events and decisions. We collect, aggregate and enrich ELB usage data to support metering, audits to ensure accuracy, billing, cost, efficiency and business intelligence analysis.

We are now designing and building the next generation of ELB features capable of handling terabytes of data per day, empowering customers to make real-time decisions, and continually improve the metering experience. This is a unique opportunity to help build large-scale systems from the ground up.
