Job description

The Platform Engineering & Emerging Technology (PEET) Amazon Dedicated Cloud team is hiring for an ADC Engineer to support CloudTrail, AWS Config and other AWS services! You'll design, deploy, monitor, and automate infrastructure, tools and systems to provide a highly-available and resilient platform for our customers' and our team's workloads.

Would you like to help implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve the world's most complex technical problems?

Do you have a deep passion and desire to engineer and operate the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure to provide a better world for future generations?

This is an exciting opportunity to use the latest cloud computing technologies to help U.S. Government agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve technical problems.

AWS established a specialized group of service teams responsible for the work we are doing with the U.S. Intelligence Community.

We are building some of the largest and most complex distributed systems in the world, and we need adaptable people to help us implement and operate them.

Amazon Web Services is seeking top industry technical experts to grow our team dedicated to expanding and maintaining Platform Engineering & Emerging Technology (PEET) services in dedicated regions.

This role is specifically focused on AWS CloudTrail and AWS Config.

We are seeking a talented engineer skilled in the art of integration who understands the Agile mindset and DevOps philosophies, yet is not constrained by how “things are usually done and is willing to decompose and reinvent systems, processes, and tools.

We're looking for an experienced builder for some of the largest compliance and governance services on the planet; if you possess that rare mix of depth in Operations, Networking, and Systems Engineering then we are waiting for your application.

Amazon has a fast-paced environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a “typical” day engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational issues.

Apply to meet our talented team and let's see if you are the one that can help us scale to meet the demand of our largest government customers! Become our leading expert on Amazon Web Services (AWS) PEET products and services.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.

The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
