Systems Development Engineer III, Managed Region Builds - Managed Infrastructure

The Managed Infrastructure team is responsible to build one of Earth's largest distributed systems - EC2 - at scale. We own the software and tooling to build the foundation of the cloud in new Regions and Availability Zones and our team is growing to support a senior leadership strategic initiative.

AWS is the industry leader in Cloud Computing. We enable our customers to dynamically scale their computing capacity as needed.

Your contributions on our team will have a direct and significant impact on both our customers and our business. You will work on tooling that interacts with a broad set of EC2 services ensuring we can build EC2 at scale.

You will innovate and help create the tools needed to deploy AWS services in new regions in a fully automated fashion with zero human touch.

This work requires innovative solutions for managing complex large scale deployments including configuration, service migration, dependency detection and management and more.

Key job responsibilities

As a Systems Development Engineer on our team, you find tough problems and come up with innovative solutions. Your primary focus is to invent, refine, and develop effective technology solutions to team, business, and customer problems.

You are a technical leader who works with others across multiple teams, influencing decisions and driving results.

About the team

The Managed Infrastructure team was formed over seven years ago to tackle the unique and complex technical challenges that arise from building new AWS Regions & Availability Zones.

Many of the tenured Amazonians who formed this team are still on it today.

Life moves fast for our team. We have a broad responsibility and support hundreds of teams across AWS. Every day is an opportunity to accomplish more than you thought you could.

We have fun with regular happy hours, AMA sessions, and team outings. We work as a team and support our each other's learning and professional growth.
