A recruiter reached out to me about an SDE role at AWS Marketplace. How are the teams/projects? I've heard generally positive things.
that's a big team, talk to the particular hiring manager for a better idea
It depends on what you are looking for. This space has a bunch of ambiguous business problems with a lot of opportunities for making high $$ impact. Unfortunately, people tend to over index on ‘deliver results’ in such an environment thus leading to a spaghetti architecture. Thankfully, leadership is now recognizing the problem and they are investing heavily in fixing the core architectural issues so a lot needs to be done over a period of next 2 years.

Awesome work life balance ! Normal tech bar ! You’ll have enough coding and design work to keep you busy 8 hours a day ! High ops bar but low to medium ops load. Ops bar is same as other AWS teams. Only business problems, very less technical problems.
Anyone currently on this team that would not mind if I DM then, interviewing right now for position in this org.
You can DM me
I would pass, it's not absolute shit but it's not that great. They're making money and growing, but a lot of the "senior" talent is garbage and makes bad architectural decisions that you're forced to build around.
