Responsibilities

Deliver working software features and improvements to major portions of SITC platform components, including new development as well as refactoring and deprecation work for workflows such as media ingestion, transcoding, collaboration infrastructure, rendering orchestration, or delivery automation

Design software solutions to enable new features or improve existing systems, working with team leadership to ensure designs align with long-term architectural strategy. May still require guidance on complex architectural decisions

Contribute significantly to the full software development lifecycle including scoping, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance of the team's software. Work backwards from customers and stakeholders to understand business and customer value in order to deliver the right solutions

Work on difficult technical problems with visible risks or roadblocks including: optimizing media processing performance for large files (multi-GB assets), implementing reliable data transfer across regions with varying network conditions, building responsive APIs for interactive creative tools, integrating with vendor systems that have specific technical requirements, and ensuring system reliability for productions that cannot tolerate failures

Write high-quality production code that meets the Amazon Code Bar including well-written implementations using language idioms correctly, maintainable logic that others can understand and extend, robust error handling, efficient resource usage, comprehensive testing, and operational visibility through logging and metrics

Actively participate in operational support for your team, ensuring root causes of operational issues are identified and resolved with permanent fixes rather than temporary workarounds. Routinely identify and execute on opportunities to improve team operations

Provide meaningful code review feedback to others including more senior engineers, and actively seek feedback on your own work early enough to be actionable. Participate in design reviews and contribute constructive perspectives

Mentor other engineers on your team including SDE 1s and new teammates, training them on how the team's software is constructed, tested, operated, secured, and how it fits into the bigger picture

Demonstrate operational excellence in all work including robust testing, monitoring and alerting, incident response, and maintaining system availability. Make effective priority trade-offs between new feature development and operational improvements

Communicate effectively with your team about the work you deliver, documenting what your team's software does, how it is constructed and operated, how secure it is, and how it integrates with other systems
