You will join a diverse team of software engineers working to improve builder velocity, reduce operational risk, scale automation safely, and maximize the value of existing tooling investments. You will collaborate with teams across Amazon and AWS to reduce builder toil at the lowest cost, in a culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them through completion.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
