Amazon Web Services Opportunity

Amazon Web Services is building some of the largest distributed systems in the world, and offering them to our Dedicated Cloud customers. Amazon's database offerings like Athena, OpenSearch, Elastic Map Reduce, Glue, QuickSight, LakeFormation, and Redshift are massively scaled services that make up a critical piece of the internet today. This is an excellent opportunity for you to join Amazon's world class technical team in either Denver, CO or Herndon, VA. You will be working with some of the best and brightest engineers and technical managers while also developing your skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative and progressive technology companies anywhere. 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.

Key job responsibilities include the following:

• Deep experience working with Linux, preferably in a large scale, distributed environment.
• Understanding of networking technology and how servers and networks inter-relate.
• Participation in deep-dive troubleshooting and technical post-mortem discussions to identify the root cause of complex issues.
• Love to code, whether it's building tools in Java or solving complex system problems in Python.
• Solid understanding of software development methodology and the ability to use the right tool for the right job.
• Ability to build and deploy solutions across thousands of devices and strive to improve and streamline processes.

A day in the life consists of working with the ADC Analytics and Big Data Services team, which includes a mix of Systems Engineers, System Development Engineers, and Software Engineers. The team takes their company credo to heart: "Work hard. Have fun. Make history". They are pioneers in the arena of mechanistic improvement for the burdens associated with designing, deploying, and operating a managed service. The tools and services they build are tools that engineers want to use, instead of just being required to use.
