Software Dev Engineer II, Luna

DESCRIPTION

The Amazon Luna team is leveraging the power of the cloud to enable customers to stream AAA games on their existing devices. Luna represents an exciting and truly new product and business, with a high degree of innovation, and an opportunity to reach a large volume of passionate customers.

As a Software Development Engineer working on the core streaming infrastructure for Luna, you will get to combine your passion for gaming, AWS, and building scalable tech for the next generation of cloud gaming.

We value diversity of backgrounds as we believe writing software is a learning process and that innovation is driven by learners, not knowers. We're often breaking new ground as we work with low-level details of the Windows and Linux operating systems, Wine, and Proton. Much of our work involves convincing various stack components to perform tasks that they weren't originally designed for.

We are looking for an SDE that is excited to learn and build the next generations of our service. The successful candidate should be able to thrive in all phases of software development and be adaptable to work with a variety of technologies and development environments.
