You are able to operate with limited guidance and take a long term view of your team’s services and how they fit into the broader architecture. The services that your team own are used by many teams and you will have opportunities to work and influence engineers and teams outside of your own team to build out EC2 architecture that supports Amazon scale business needs.

We follow a DevOps model and we assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a more well rounded engineer that will enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future. This position includes on-call duties which is on rotation with the rest of the team. Our team values work-life balance.

As an Amazonian, you will enjoy interacting with some of the most talented engineers in our industry through breakfast talks and demos, internal communities and extensive training material that spans all aspects of our business.

We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, curious, empathic, motivated and reliable. The development opportunities are plentiful and we're only just starting to scratch the surface. If this sounds intriguing to you, then come build with us.
