Description

As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

Join the Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) team, where you'll tackle the challenges of sending billions of emails daily for businesses worldwide. You'll build systems that handle massive scale, develop innovative solutions to combat email abuse, and create AI/ML capabilities that solve real customer problems around deliverability and engagement.

As part of our engineering team, you'll work across specialized groups focused on high-performance sending infrastructure, control mechanisms, insightful analytics, and intuitive user interfaces. Whether you're passionate about distributed systems that scale to billions of events daily, security solutions that protect sender reputation, or customer-focused tools that simplify complex email management, SES offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on a service that businesses worldwide depend on.

The SES Command team's mission is making sure what we have is easy to understand by both AI and our end customers. We are building the future of configuration, where natural language replaces complex APIs, where onboarding feels effortless, and where managing millions of resources is as simple as managing one. Our vision is a platform that adapts to how customers think, not the other way around, creating a unified experience that makes the power of SES accessible to everyone. As part of the broader AWS organization, we're committed to continuous innovation that improves the overall customer experience for businesses of all sizes.
