Description

Are you passionate about open source? Do you want to help empower millions of front-end developers? This is a unique opportunity to be a key part of an Amplify Framework engineering team. The Amplify Framework (https://docs.amplify.aws/) was launched in November 2017 and has quickly gained popularity within the industry. Adoption and usage of the framework has also grown rapidly but it is still Day 1 for the team and for our product with an extensive set of new capabilities scheduled for delivery in 2024.

The Amplify Framework is a collection of open source libraries and tools that enable developers to create mobile and web apps on AWS. Amplify codifies best practices through programmatic interfaces to help developers effortlessly interact with AWS services. The Amplify JS library provides these features to developers working in the JavaScript ecosystem (https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js).

Key job responsibilities

As an Amplify JS engineer, you will be responsible for developing the features that help eliminate the friction and complexity of wiring up frontend projects to AWS services. Our mission is to make it easy for developers to get up and running quickly using AWS services even if they are unfamiliar with them, so they can focus on building great, innovative experiences for their customers.

We are looking for a frontend engineer who is passionate about creating software for other developers and has a strong track record of successfully delivering new features and products. A commitment to team work, initiative, and strong communication skills are a must. Creating reliable, scalable, and high-performance products requires exceptional technical expertise, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of Computer Science, and practical experience building scalable software products. This person thrives on delivering high quality technology solutions in an environment where priorities shift fast to meet the changing needs of our customers.
