Applied Scientist
US, CA, Cupertino
Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. S3’s Automated Reasoning Group (S3-ARG) develops and applies automated reasoning techniques to deliver correct, secure, durable, and available distributed systems and storage services. S3 is complex: it consists of hundreds of micro-services each of which is a distributed system. With a very large number of servers and 10s of millions of requests per second, it is also highly concurrent. S3 has a sizable codebase, developed and maintained by a large team of engineers. Getting such a complex and fast-evolving system right requires developing cutting edge automated reasoning methods that are continuously integrated into the software development process. This is what our team does.We work on techniques ranging from deductive proofs to model checking, from static analysis to runtime verification of protocols. We work both at the design and the code level, and connecting the two is essential for us. We partner with development teams to make sure that our methods are deployed across S3 and that correctness is maintained as the software evolves. We have had significant success with adoption and we are key contributors to recent S3 launches such as strong consistency. We are developing innovative methods all the time. We publish our results at conferences and journals.We are a diverse team and are looking for teammates who are enthusiastic to work on these problems and further the state of the art with us. We are seeking candidates who are deep in one area of expertise but also broad enough to take on the most complex cloud computing challenges. If you are interested in exploring, please e-mail s3-arg-jobs@amazon.com.About UsInclusive Team CultureHere at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally.
