Collaborate with partner teams to assess system dependencies, clarify architectural responsibilities, and apply improvements that benefit the broader organization.
A day in the life
You start your day reviewing system health dashboards and metrics you helped build, quickly identifying any anomalies worth investigating. You might spend the morning pairing with a teammate on a code review, then shift to designing an automation solution that eliminates a recurring manual process. Afternoons could involve a post-incident review where you help the team uncover contributing causes and propose long-term fixes. You regularly connect with engineers on partner teams to align on shared system interfaces and ensure your solutions integrate smoothly.
About the team
Our team is focused on building and operating reliable, scalable systems that serve Amazon's customers around the world. We value collaboration, clear communication, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Every engineer on the team has the opportunity to shape how we build and operate our technology, and we actively invest in mentorship and knowledge sharing. If you are excited about working in an inclusive environment where your ideas matter and your contributions have real impact, we would love for you to join us.
Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS)
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.
Inclusive Team Culture
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. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
