What has spurred your current pursuit of employment?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I’ve spent the last few years working in fast-paced startup environments,
building financial infrastructure systems—things like secure transaction
pipelines, internal tooling, and real-time data processing. It was a great
experience that gave me strong ownership over the entire engineering lifecycle,
from design to deployment.
Now, I’m looking to take the next step by joining a larger-scale engineering
organization like Amazon, where I can work on highly reliable, distributed
systems with broader impact. I’m especially drawn to Amazon’s engineering
standards, mentorship opportunities, and the chance to contribute to systems
that operate at global scale.
Ultimately, I’m motivated by solving hard problems with high stakes, and I want
to grow as a builder by learning from experienced engineers and contributing to
long-term infrastructure projects that matter.

My organization's hubs are in Seattle and Virginia, and I'm the only one in the
AWS Config office in Irvine, CA. While I was on a long-term exception, AWS has
decided to request everyone to be at the hub. I am looking for a new opportunity
because I cannot move, and also I would like to seek a different charter to grow
in a smaller company than Amazon's size.
