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 provide a better world for future generations?

Amazon Web Services is seeking a top industry technical expert to grow our team

dedicated to expanding our Compute services to government customers. We are

seeking a talented engineer skilled in the art of integration who understands

the Agile mindset and DevOps philosophies, yet is not constrained by how “things

are usually done" and is willing to decompose and reinvent systems, processes,

and tools. We're looking for a technical expert for one of the largest compute

services on the planet; if you possess that rare mix of depth in Development,

Operations, Networking, and Systems Engineering then we are waiting for your

application.

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

You'll be part of a world-class team in a fast-paced environment that has the

entrepreneurial feel of a start-up. This is an opportunity to operate and

engineer systems on a massive scale, and to gain top-notch experience in cloud

computing. You'll be surrounded by people who are smart, passionate about cloud

computing, and believe that world class service is critical to customer success.

You will design and build the operational scalability that sustains the

platform's insane growth. You will be able to measure your success by its

visible impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of government services for

our nation.

A day in the life

Amazon has a fast-paced environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make

History.” On a “typical” day 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.

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.
