About the position

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a highly skilled AWS Cloud Developer to join our National Security Professional Services (ProServe) team. This role is pivotal in helping U.S. Intelligence Community agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve complex technical problems. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in designing, implementing, and consulting on distributed applications, with a focus on security best practices for applications, servers, and networks. You will work closely with customers to understand their needs and provide tailored solutions that leverage the latest cloud technologies. In this position, you will be responsible for engaging with Intelligence Community customers, educating them on application architectures, and guiding them through integration approaches. You will utilize your consultative and leadership skills to launch projects successfully, ensuring that they are on the right trajectory from the outset. Your role will involve deep-dive education and design exercises, allowing you to contribute to innovative solutions built on AWS. You will collaborate with various teams across AWS to deliver the right solutions and drive feature innovation based on customer feedback. This is not a remote position; you are expected to work from one of the designated locations or customer sites at least one day a week. The position requires an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph, and you must be willing to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which you perform AWS work. At AWS, we value work-life balance and offer flexibility in working hours, encouraging you to find a balance that works for you. We are committed to mentorship and career growth, providing an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and supports your professional development.
