AWS (Snow) | Sr. Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) and ONSITE (San Francisco)| Full-Time

I am founding the SF Bay Area office for AWS’s fledgling Snow business: https://aws.amazon.com/snow/

I am looking for senior engineers interested in working on a greenfield AWS product. If you are loathe to go through the sluggish leetcode-esque process associated with most FANG-ish companies, please reach out regardless. I am foremost interested in hiring technically excellent colleagues.

My team is responsible for solving a variety of distributed computing challenges for new products built on Snow. Here is a sample of some problem categories I am currently working on:

  - distributed computing against partitions without any network connectivity for long time periods
  - remote management of devices with low bandwidth and intermittent network connectivity
  - establishing correct and performant build pipelines for custom hardware devices deployed in remote areas

Highlights:

  - greenfield work on a well-capitalized emerging AWS product
  - actual customers who are eager to use the product, adding value and feedback to the development cycle
  - help define the technical merits, pace, and direction of the team for years to come at AWS’s scale
  - my team currently has no oncall, as we support hardware, disconnected devices, and evolving products currently being defined with customers
  - realistic path for accelerated career/technical growth within the context of a larger company

My team is in the office on Wednesday and Thursday of each week, otherwise remote. I am happy to hire experienced senior engineers into fully remote positions. If you are interested in speaking, please reach out to me at:

About me

I have worked professionally as an engineer and mathematician on low level cryptographic primitives, compiler development, and large scale distributed systems. I prioritize craftsmanship, clarity of thought, and correctness as levers against intractable and complex problems. In my spare time, I just finished reverse engineering some critical hardware circuits on my laptop’s motherboard to hack some custom behavior. I am now fixing and old Apple ][ Plus with the intent of writing some retro 6502 Sweet 16! I am also a pilot, tennis player, and an avid reader. I’d love to chat with you about any of those things if you’re interested.

Are you guys also hiring for React/Web developers (or React Native, although I know ByteDance uses Flutter primarily)?

Appreciate it!
