Software Development Engineer II, Platform Engineering and Emerging Technologies

The Platform Engineering and Emerging Technologies (PEET) team is hiring for a

Software Development Engineer to support the development of AWS Secret Cloud for

Industry! You'll design, build, deploy, and monitor features to enhance the user

experience for our customers. You'll build tools and systems to provide a

highly-available and resilient platform for our customers' and our team's

workloads.

Would you like to implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve the

world's most complex technical problems? Do you have a deep passion and desire

to engineer and operate the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure to

build a better world for future generations?

This is an exciting opportunity to use the latest cloud computing technologies

to help U.S. Government agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions

and solve technical problems. AWS established a specialized group of service

teams responsible for the work we are doing with the U.S. Intelligence

Community. We are building some of the largest and most complex distributed

systems in the world, and we need adaptable people to help us implement and

operate them.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and

maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance. The position further requires

that, after start, the selected candidate obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI

security clearance with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government

agency for which they perform AWS work.

Key job responsibilities

- Design, build, deploy, and monitor components of the AWS Secret Cloud for

Industry service.

- This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week in

every six. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the

weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do

get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged

for the same issue twice.

About the team

Why AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted

cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —

that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies

trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS)

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.

Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led

affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our

differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our

Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us

to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Work/Life Balance

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the

expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of

our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home,

there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
