posted 5 months ago
Amazon Web Services is seeking top industry technical experts to grow our team dedicated to expanding our Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to government customers. We are looking for a talented engineer skilled in the art of integration who understands the Agile mindset and DevOps philosophies. This role is not constrained by how 'things are usually done' and requires a willingness to decompose and reinvent systems, processes, and tools. As a technical expert for one of the largest compute services on the planet, you will possess a rare mix of depth in Operations, Networking, and Systems Engineering. In this fast-paced environment, engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational issues. You will be part of a world-class team that has the entrepreneurial feel of a start-up, providing an opportunity to operate and engineer systems on a massive scale while gaining top-notch experience in cloud computing. You will become a master at EC2 platform diagnosis, response, measurement, and automation. Your role will involve designing and building the operational scalability that sustains the platform's growth, and you will measure your success by its visible impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of government services for our nation. This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph, and the candidate must opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
