The AWS team is hiring for technical, sales, and marketing positions at multiple locations around the world; see <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/careers/" > .
We have a strong need for very senior developers (an SDE III in our system). SDE IIIs often have 10 to 15 years of experience, advanced degrees, a reputation that precedes them (well-known implementations and/or published papers), and the desire to remain hands-on despite hitting the experience level where advancement supposedly requires people management.
Feel free to contact me using the email address in my profile if you have any questions.
