Software Development Engineer, Amazon ECS

Job description

The Amazon ECS team is responsible for building and operating Containers solution to help customers run containerized microservices on AWS. We have an ambitious roadmap that seeks to redefine how our customers build their applications and run them at scale. We seek to let developers take full-advantage of the speed, agility, and immutability that containers offer so they can focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure.

ECS is a fast growing business and we are expanding our team to help build additional features for our customers. This is a great time to join a growing team and help influence what we can do for customers who are adopting serverless containers and all the benefits ECS brings them.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our development team on the ECS Control Plane. This team works closely with various teams across AWS. We have several exciting projects on our roadmap for 2026, especially with a focus on enabling more ML/AI workloads on top of ECS. If you are interested in building high-performance software, passionate about abstracting infrastructure management for AWS customers, and looking to grow your technical career, this job is for you.
