When we said we're developing the next generation cloud storage architecture –
we weren't kidding.
When we said it's the fastest block storage in the cloud – we weren't
exaggerating.
EBS Israel is developing Block Express, the next generation high performance
architecture of AWS Block Storage (EBS).
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is looking for experienced software
development engineers to help us build the future of cloud storage. EBS
provides high-performance virtualized storage for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
(EC2), and is a key building block for many applications, from databases to
distributed file systems and Hadoop clusters. As a member of the EBS team, you
will have ownership over the design, implementation, and operation of one of
the largest distributed systems in the world. You will work closely with a
tight, agile team that ships features continuously, and you will be able to
see the impact of your work on real customers!
The ideal candidate will share our excitement about the incredible opportunity
cloud computing and big data analytics represent, and will be passionate about
delivering high quality services. You will have design and implementation
experience, knowledge of distributed systems architectures, and experience
leading or mentoring other engineers. Experience with databases, data
warehousing, business intelligence, and machine learning are particularly
valued, as is experience delivering large-scale online services. You will be
customer centric and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that requires
technical and communication skills.
