* Engaging with developers within Amazon to build IDE support exceeding the expectations of Amazon builders.
* Delivering high-quality technical solutions that delight our builders.
* Demonstrating good taste in developer experience and tooling design through the SDLC.
* Partnering with your manager and engineering leads to influence technical architecture and product roadmaps.
* Setting a high bar of technical and operational excellence, and empower your colleagues to continuously meet and raise the bar.
A day in the life
Your customers are the tens of thousands of software engineers across Amazon, who are building AWS, Amazon.com, Twitch, Alexa, IMDB, and more. You'll be a hands-on engineer, building and launching new features and extensions for popular IDEs like IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code. Your work will focus on integrating these IDEs seamlessly with Amazon's internal tools and services, while also contributing to the open-source communities surrounding these IDEs. By collaborating with the VS Code and JetBrains teams, you'll create an IDE experience that makes software development at Amazon rapid and delightful, empowering every Amazon builder in their day-to-day work.
About the team
The IDE Team is part of the Builder Accelerator (BAX) group, a polyglot engineering team with multiple products, from high-availability services to tools that run on developers' workstations. BAX adapts to the biggest opportunities to make a positive impact on Amazon developers' ability to "get into flow": where they can code their ideas and see them working, without getting interrupted or mucking with their tools.
