A day in the life
As NLM software engineer, you will spend time working with network owners looking for opportunities to add more safety, speed and automation into their processes. Equipped with this knowledge, you will translate business requirements into technical requirements, architect and design new features to help our customers fulfill their business requirements. Scale always break software. At AWS we know this by heart and are always on a lookout of what will be our next scaling limitation. We then go back to the drawing board and evolve our software architecture to work for the future scale needs. Taking care of scale is a daily activity for us.
