System Engineer Amazon
Herndon, VA

Job Description

AWS Commerce Platform is seeking a talented System Engineer to help bridge the gaps between systems, software, and ops - and are not constrained by how "things are usually done".

We are recruiting qualified Systems Engineers to operate our existing fleets, analyze and tune hardware/software configurations, automate existing manual processes, and identify improvements to our existing tools.

The AWS Commerce Platform provides the back and front-end services that enable AWS customers to purchase AWS services and understand and manage their infrastructure costs. Our platform tackles some of the hardest scalability, performance, and distributed computing challenges in the world. We process trillions of events per month using stream processing techniques (Kinesis), process billions of line items via map reduce (EMR), and manage artifacts through the latest in database technologies (DynamoDB and Aurora). We process big data and provide tools for customers to interactively understand their bills. We also provide the analytics that let customers manage billions of dollars of IT usage and spending. Because we sit at the nexus of all AWS services and interact directly with end-customers, we also work closely across all AWS teams to ensure that we offer a great customer experience.

We support cloud solutions for the U.S. Intelligence Community. This requires a candidate to be a U.S. citizen and obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.
