Software Development Engineer - EC2 Infrastructure Platform at Amazon

Most of our team is based in Cape Town. Under normal circumstances, we mostly work from the office, but you will have the flexibility to manage your own time. Occasionally we work with our colleagues across the world meaning we accommodate different timezones. This position involves on-call responsibilities. We continuously prioritise efforts to automate ourselves out of operational responsibilities to ensure the impact is minimal.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, curious engineer to join us on our journey of fast and safe deployments. Our team has the potential to multiply the value we offer to our customers, but we need you.

If this sounds like the opportunity for you, come build with us!
