ConsultingFull-time

About the role

Amazon OpenSearch Service is the fully managed and serverless AWS service that lets customers deploy, operate, and scale OpenSearch for log analytics, full-text search, application monitoring, observability, and AI-powered retrieval. The OpenSearch Control Plane team is responsible for managing a large fleet of cloud-native OpenSearch clusters and collections, ensuring high availability and durability for mission-critical workloads, and orchestrating the complete lifecycle of an OpenSearch cluster or collection.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and operate components of a large-scale distributed control plane — reason about failure modes, multi-tenant isolation, and blast-radius before writing code
  • Treat operations as core engineering — own the systems you build end-to-end, participate fully in incident response and RCAs, and drive operational improvements that reduce cost and maintenance burden
  • Solve real problems in cluster orchestration, capacity provisioning, lifecycle workflows, multi-tenant infrastructure, query routing, and operational tooling
  • Use AI coding assistants and GenAI tools effectively across the software development lifecycle — from design and prototyping through coding, testing, code review, debugging, and operations — applying engineering judgment to validate AI-generated output against Amazon's correctness, security, and operational bar
  • Write robust, efficient, and maintainable code in Java, Rust, Python, or Go
  • Partner with senior engineers to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete deliverables; prototype, test, and validate
  • Continually challenge what exists and explore what should change to better serve customers

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
  • 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
