Software Dev Engineer II, AWS Transfer Family

AWS Transfer Family (launched at re:Invent 2018) is looking for talented engineers with a passion for solving challenging problems to join the team and help us take the service to the next level. AWS Transfer Family is a fully managed service supporting file transfers over different file transfer protocols for AWS Storage Services like Amazon S3. AWS Transfer Family helps customers seamlessly migrate file transfer workflows to AWS, freeing customers from managing, operating and securing their own file transfer solution. Customers can easily create file transfer endpoints that allow their business partners to easily send files directly to AWS Storage such as AWS S3. We are looking for a team member to understand the B2B file transfer and transactional needs of enterprises across key verticals and geographies as they migrate to the cloud and what new file transfer products and features we should build to accelerate such migrations and unlock value from AWS integrations.
