System Development Engineer Amazon
Herndon, VA

Job Description

Do you like helping U.S. Intelligence Community agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve technical problems? Would you like to do this using the latest cloud computing technologies? Do you have a knack for helping these groups understand application architectures and integration approaches, and the consultative and leadership skills to launch a project on a trajectory to success?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world leader in providing a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world!

Passionate about building, owning and operating massively scalable systems? Want to make a billion-dollar impact? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you.

The Team: We're an agile, independent team working to build upon an existing commercial facing product and expand this offering into brand new AWS services. We are seeking talented engineers skilled in the art of integration who can bridge gaps between systems, software, and ops - and are not constrained by how "things are usually done". This young team will focus on delivering solid, scalable systems, that move terabytes of data between regions.

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 sharp, passionate about cloud computing, and believe that world class service is critical to customer success. You'll master platform diagnosis, response, measurement, and automation. You will design and build the operational scalability that sustains the platform's continued growth.
