Key job responsibilities

Your goal is to design and develop software systems that are secure, maintainable, scalable, and extendable. You will work with internal customers and stakeholders to understand their pain points and requirements. You will be part of a team that values strong intuition, but seek metrics and other data sources to back up assumptions. You will share your knowledge with others and also learn from others. Our team is one where you own everything end to end : design, development, testing, deploying through rapid iteration. You will develop solutions that allow us to scaling via automation.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
