You will obsess over and innovate in development of long-term solutions and architectures that enable our newest engineers through improved safety, agility, and automation.

You will use data, developer anecdotes, and your own technical / business judgement to expedite decision making, influence technical or business trade-offs, and contribute to the most complex / ambiguous parts of acquisition project design / implementation.

Your actions will be felt by Amazon and AWS customers around the world across a broad range of product and service experiences.

You will deliver value by guiding acquired teams through their adoption of Amazon’s best practices and influencing decisions to result in resilient systems meeting Amazon’s Operational Excellence bar.
