AWS CloudFormation provides an easy declarative way to create, deploy and manage applications and infrastructure in the AWS cloud. The CloudFormation teams are pioneers in the “Infrastructure as Code” space. We that spin up infrastructure across AWS at unprecedented scale. This would have an impact in shaping our resource framework that allows CloudFormation to provision hundreds of AWS services. We are looking for stack developers to join our amazing team, who excel in a fast-paced and often ambiguous environment where we love pushing the boundaries to innovate, learn while we and new software, and create solves in a huge internal and external problem space.
You’ll get to learn, grow and work with amazing team to:
· Design//iterate developer tools and services that are used by thousands of AWS users.
· Work with and learn many different technologies. While /Kotlin are most commonly used we are also actively looking for opportunities to build microservices using Rust/Go and other languages.
· Deeply own the stack and entire lifecycle of our products, from the roadmap to the /architecture to and continuous iterative and deployment of both services and web apps.
· Interface closely with internal and external customers to quickly drive new products and new features.

Our senior engineers truly enjoy mentoring more junior engineers and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and thorough but kind code reviews. We care and try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks, problems to solve in future.
