Internship Data Archiving Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The vast majority of data in the world is cold durably and securely retained for long periods of time, but rarely ever accessed. Conventional storage systems are a poor fit for this domain as they are typically optimized for speed rather than space and cost. Amazon Glacier has been designed from the very start to provide secure, durable and scalable data storage at a very low cost. This unusual set of constraints requires us to solve fascinating scaling and algorithmic problems that have never been tackled at our scale.
Amazon S3 Glacier is a secure, durable, and extremely low-cost cloud storage service for data archiving and long-term backup. Customers use Glacier to store data long term, while having the flexibility of retrieving their data within a few minutes using Expedited retrieval speed or a few hours using Standard or Bulk retrieval speeds. Conventional storage systems are a poor fit for this domain as they are typically optimized for speed rather than space and cost. Glacier's unique constraints lead to to fascinating scaling and algorithmic problems that have never been tackled at our scale. To meet our cost and availability goals, we have a constant need to drive fundamentally new storage technologies in the industry and come up with innovative ways to further optimize cost and availability. We are now working on the next set of major hardware and software enhancements to the service and are seeking a Software Development Engineer to join our experienced team.
As an engineer on the Glacier Foundational and Customer analytics services team, you'll work to develop the Glacier control plane, core components, customer analytics and achieving a consistent and highly available customer retrieval experience. To do so, you'll need to solve challenging computer science problems and to drive operational excellence. We are looking for an engineer who is keen to lead, invent in this space, and build what could become the largest data storage service on the planet.
