Description

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build massively scalable systems that are used by the world's largest cloud infrastructures?

Would you enjoy broad yet equally deep scope that impacts all AWS systems globally?

AWS Vetting continues to pioneer and our team is architecting, building, and operating scalable services that are at the core of AWS infrastructure.

What do we do?

We build platforms and tools that ensure the health of AWS hardware by verifying and authenticating every new and rebuilt system across all AWS data centers and manufacturing sites. Our platform enables service owners such as EC2, EBS, S3, and others to deliver healthy servers for their service to the production. Our team leads a large-scale service that sets the bar for Amazon and the industry in platform level services, effectively enabling the hardware at scale by designing and developing the software that manages the verification and testing of every server in AWS.

Why it’s high-impact?

We set the bar high to ensure that AWS customers get the capacity they need to run their applications on a healthy hardware server within an SLA.

What’s the challenge?

There are many ambiguous and difficult challenges in our fast-moving space. Our platform is mission critical and requires deep system and software expertise. You need to have the ability to work within a fast moving and startup-like environment in a large company. You will identify solutions, trying ideas, given space to fail and iterate to produce products that your customers love.

What you will do?

You will be a part of a team to build the next generation of platform level software and systems that enables us to deliver healthy hardware to AWS customers. You regularly work with senior AWS leadership to plan for the future. You will be a part of a team that owns AWS Vetting Foundational Services where you own the systems and services deployed to AWS Data Centers and Manufacturing sites. You will develop, design, and maintain systems to ensure the AWS Manufacturing sites continued operation and continued operation in our data centers.

Who would succeed in this role?

Deeply technical engineers, who stay close to the customer as well as the systems architecture and design. They think about customer experience and the outcome. A person who works autonomously and dives deep in to a problem to deeply understand how things work, when to make subtle change, and when to disrupt the status quo to achieve the right results.

About the team

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.
