Description
EC2 Tabs owns EC2 Hardware and Instance Type Service. We are the single source of truth for all EC2 hardware and instance type data. As an engineer on our team, you’ll help us to understand how we can simplify the dependency on instance type data by our EC2 services and reduce the time it takes to introduce new instance types to our customers. You will also make improvements in collaboration with teams across EC2. You’ll get to program in various languages that primarily include Kotlin and Python.
Work/Life Balance
Most of our team is based in Cape Town. Under normal circumstances, we mostly work from the office but are very flexible if you need to work from home occasionally. From time-to-time, we work with our colleagues across the world meaning we accommodate the different time zones.
On-Call Responsibility
We rotate our on-call responsibilities which means that every 4-6 weeks, you would need to be contactable outside of office hours in order to respond if a problem arises with your service. We are very understanding of personal circumstances, and so teams always endeavour to take this into consideration when building a fair on-call roster. You can discuss in more detail with your Manager once you’ve joined.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. 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 about your career growth. We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
