Front-End Engineer II, Route 53 Console

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Come join the Amazon Route 53 Console team! We're based in Vancouver, BC, and are hiring experienced front-end engineers. We're a tight-knit team responsible for one of the most heavily used sections of the AWS console.

We're passionate about our customers and about running a highly available distributed platform on the Internet. We thrive on using our technical skills to define new products in the face of requirements that can be fast-changing and ambiguous. We love to experiment, whether it's hackathons or evaluating new front-end frameworks and design patterns. We enjoy working closely with product, UX, and service engineers to build elegant web applications that delight customers.

The Worldwide Sustainability (WWS) organization capitalizes on Amazon’s scale, speed, ability to build, invent, and simplify a resilient and sustainable company. We manage our social and environmental impacts globally and drive solutions that enable our customers, businesses, and the world to become more sustainable.
