DESCRIPTION
Do you have a passion for innovation and building technologies that make large-scale clouds more reliable, efficient, and scalable? Would you like to work within the most advanced and scaled clouds that support the most critical workloads for the US Intelligence and Defense communities?
Do you want to build automation that will influence the national security and defense mission agency partners of AWS? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an ADC Engineer to take the lead of solving some of the toughest operational challenges in some of the most sensitive and mission critical clouds.
WorkSpaces is leading the cloud desktop revolution and we are looking for engineers who know how to design and maintain highly scalable software services. We care deeply about the user experience our customers have when they interact with their WorkSpace. This includes how long it takes to launch, how long it takes to log in, and how the in-session interaction feels. We must provide a secure and highly available WorkSpace to meet expectations.
The ideal candidate for this role will be motivated by building the solutions and tools to handle these challenges at cloud scale. The candidate will have a strong technical background, be detail driven, and have excellent problem solving abilities. You will be comfortable designing, building, deploying, and operating.
You will be responsible for systems functionality, performance, and configurations issues. You will demonstrate sound knowledge of Unix and Scripting concepts and theory, and have experience participating in systems deployment and support. It is important that you can earn trust of your peers and stakeholders through your body of work and day to day interactions. This role requires ambition, thinking big, self-motivation, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and startup-like environment.
If you've ever wanted to show the impact one motivated engineer can have and you want to work in an environment that will expose you to the absolute bleeding-edge of what's possible technologically, this is the position for you. The candidate should be open to new challenges, be extremely good at multi-tasking, prioritization, possess innovative, creative, and self-directed qualities, and be a great team player. If you’re a customer-focused Systems Engineer who would like to contribute to a critical success story, we would love to hear from you!
Key job responsibilities
Drive the stability and sustainability of these next-generation systems and discover innovative ways to scale and operate them reliably as we expand.
Collaborate with systems and software engineers to create proactive engineering mechanisms that will enable your team to manage the health of a number of distributed specialized Linux server fleets and the software stacks that run on them.
Deploy and monitor the systems and automation to ensure that regional tooling is operating optimally.
Utilize trends and metrics to identify opportunities for improvements within existing frameworks, tools and processes to continuously improve systems.
Challenge and be challenged, to create and to innovate. We are inventing and supporting real things for real people – not presentations. This must excite you.
Be a builder. We pride ourselves on being multitalented and flexible, and we look for the same in our potential candidates.
