Amazon Web Services (AWS - Game Technologies group)| Various roles | Seattle | Full-time, Onsite | https://aws.amazon.com/gametech/
I am the hiring manager or skip-level manager for all these open roles so feel free to email me with questions. We have mid to senior level software development engineering roles open as well as an engineering manager role. We work on cutting edge tech that helps games run on AWS and scale in ways they couldn't alone. I am looking for people with distributed service development (we do most of this in Java), game engine and development (C/C++), or low level systems development skills (Rust). There are various roles, I don't expect one person to be skilled in all those areas :) . We're building an all new AWS service, solving hard technical problems, and we get to have games as a customer, which is pretty awesome to me.
I made a mistake of overthinking my initial assessment about 6 months ago. I have since learned a lot and have grown as an engineer. Does that mistake prevent my application from being considered?
Amazonian here. I have seen many candidates re-apply for position. It's certainly allowed. Try to figure out where you fell short the first time, and study up or practice to improve it. Best of luck.
Generally, that's right. We always take re-applicants. The way I look at how hiring is done (and it can certainly be improved in the industry as a whole) is that the system is tuned to reduce false positives (bad hires), but that means we have lots of false negatives (people who could have been great hires), so if you think you would be a great hire, don't feel bad about applying again. We all have bad days when interviewing, or bad evaluations.
