This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. Citizen.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will
Build and operate the platform services that let operations teams define operational scope, automate permissions, formalize service commitments, and measure operational health across AWS Regions.
Deliver features end to end, from design and code through deployment and live-site operation, and scale them to more teams and Regions.
Develop AI and agentic capabilities that automate routine operational response so operations teams can execute at greater scale.
Partner with operators and service teams to turn operational data into tooling that measurably reduces manual effort.
Write well-tested, maintainable code and raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code reviews.
A day in the life
You will join our engineering and data science group within AWS Managed Operations, the team that builds the software and analytics behind AWS operations. Software engineers, data engineers, and data scientists work side by side here: engineers build the operational platform and its services, while the data science group turns operational data into the findings that show where to reduce effort next. Where other teams operate Regions directly, our team builds the productivity tooling those operators depend on. You will work most closely with operators, partner service teams, and the data scientists on our own team.
Our software development teams build solutions that support a centralized operational model and act on data-driven findings to reduce operational toil for Amazon builders.
We deliver high-quality software that makes operators more productive: resolving issues faster while standardizing how operations run.
Most weeks, your time goes mainly to hands-on design and coding, with the rest split between working alongside operators and partner teams and a light meeting load for planning and reviews.
