Herndon VA, United States Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. Full time

Would you enjoy identifying, defining, and building software solutions that revolutionize how businesses operate?
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Would you enjoy diving deep into operating and improving some of the largest software systems humanity has ever built? Do the challenges that come of driving technical, business, and cultural change to improve the reliability, performance, and efficiency excite you?
The AWS Managed Operations (MO) organization was founded in April 2023, with the objective to reduce operational load and toil through long-term engineering projects. Managed Operations (MO) is building the best-in-class engineering and operations team that will own the day-to-day operations for AWS Regions; improving the availability, reliability, latency, performance and efficiency to operate AWS regions.
Amazon is looking for highly motivated Senior Systems Development Engineers who can balance the day-to-day operations of AWS’ software systems with long-term software engineering to reduce operational toil. We need engineers who enjoy constantly learning and diving deep into the wide range of systems and technologies that make up one of the world’s largest cloud providers.
You’ll roughly spend 50% of your time operating production systems and 50% making long-term improvements to the reliability, availability, and performance of those software systems.
Monday morning you root caused why some deployments that recently failed, and in the afternoon, you made fixes for those bugs. Then on Thursday and Friday you were developing software with your team on a system you designed which safely replaces the fleets in your team’s care with a more optimal hardware type, increasing the performance whilst decreasing its carbon emissions.

Monday morning you root caused deployments that recently failed, and in the afternoon, you made fixes for those bugs. Thursday and Friday you were developing software with your team to remove humans from the loop on problems like you worked on over the previous two days, driving a common source of error out of the system and improving its reliability.
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.
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 (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
