This is a high visibility role with the opportunity to positively impact our most-critical systems and their customers. You will be at the forefront of cloud technologies with interactions across the full breadth of AWS services.

You will be building intelligent software that automates infrastructure operations, helps generate optimal plans (supporting highest availability, lowest cost ways to fulfill product demand) and provides recommendations to our customers who are hungry for deep insights into cost optimization, performance and security. This means you will become an expert who works with a variety of teams to understand how all the AWS services come together.

Engineers in the team have opportunities to work with product teams, machine learning models and large data sets. A successful candidate will bring passion, technical and software expertise and ability to work within a fast moving environment in a large company to deliver solid code that has a broad business impact.

To succeed in this role, you must be passionate about delivering high-quality software designs, code and components. You must be creative in solving hard problems in the Infrastructure space and unafraid to think out-of-the-box.
