ADC Engineer I, Amazon Dedicated Cloud Relational Engineering

Do you enjoy helping U.S. Intelligence Community and Defense agencies implement

innovative cloud computing solutions and solve unique technical problems? Would

you like to do this using the latest cloud computing technologies and become a

core part of the largest cloud infrastructure on the planet? AWS is seeking a

ADC Engineer to own and advance mission critical services in our Amazon

Dedicated Clouds (ADC).

On a "typical" day, our engineers may dive deep to find the root cause of a

customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending in the wrong direction, or

discuss radical new approaches to automate operational processes. As a member of

our team you will join a dedicated group of engineers who provide

troubleshooting and operations support, and innovate to automate operational

tasks.

You will be able to take a defined project, break down the work to help define

milestones, and feedback mechanisms. You identify when implementations are not

highly available or have defects; you investigate systemic patterns. You

resolve, mitigate, or escalate operational concerns in a timely manner

Amazon Web Service is building some of the largest distributed systems in the

world. Amazon's database offerings like Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, EMR, RDS,

and Redshift are massively scaled services that make up a critical piece of the

internet today. This is an excellent opportunity to join Amazon's world class

Database and Analytics focused technical team in Seattle, WA, working with some

of the best and brightest engineers and technical managers while also developing

your skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative and

progressive technology companies anywhere.

Our company credo is "Work hard. Have fun. Make history".

You will love what you

do and instinctively know how to make work fun.

A successful Engineer joining the team will do much more than write code and

triage problems. You will work with Amazon's largest and most demanding

customers to address specific needs across a full suite of services. You will

dive deep into technical issues and work diligently to improve the customer

experience. By working together on behalf of our customers, we are building the

future one innovative product, service, and idea at a time.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and

maintain an active TS/SCI with Polygraph. The position further requires that,

after start, the selected candidate maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance

with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government agency for which

they perform AWS work.
