Description

We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:

Seattle, WA, USA

Are you a technology enthusiast and interested in delivering business critical services at AWS? We have an opportunity for a System Engineer in the AWS Enterprise Engineering organization, and are looking for a technical contributor who is ready to transform AWS’s identity management landscape.

In AWS Enterprise Engineering, we build the software, services, and infrastructure that enable Amazon services across the world to build and deliver for customers. We represent the intersection of AWS technology and the need for traditional IT solutions at Amazon’s scale. We’re an AWS-focused, builder-centric organization, focused on using AWS technology to reshape and reinvent foundational infrastructure technologies. We build software and services that are critical to all Amazon businesses and teams globally. We succeed when Amazon builders have the underlying infrastructure services to operate at scale, worldwide.

What you will do:

You will be a technical contributor for your team. You will work efficiently and routinely deliver the right things with limited guidance. Your work will focus on ambiguous problem areas in existing or new development initiatives. You will take a long term view of your team’s systems and how they fit into the architecture. You will proactively fix operational deficiencies and/or propose projects that have significant business and/or customer impact, which may require the work of your team. You will be an exceptional diagnostician when resolving operational or performance issues encountered in your team’s systems.

You will understand the business impact of your systems and show good judgment when making technical trade-offs between your team’s short-term technology or operational needs and long-term business needs. You will contribute in mindful discussions with customers and peers. You will bring perspective and provide context for current technology choices and guide future technology choices. You will understand that not all problems are new (or require new development). Your solutions will be inventive, secure, easily maintainable, appropriately scalable, and extensible. When you write software it is easy for others to contribute to comprehend.

You will learn and contribute to engineering best practices (e.g., Operational Excellence, Security, Quality, etc.) and set standards. You will work to resolve the root cause of endemic problems including areas where your team limits the innovation of other teams (bottlenecks). This may require you to learn and influence technology decisions made by other teams. When confronted with discordant views, you will be able to find the best way forward and influence others to follow that path (build consensus).

Why it matters:

Amazon and Amazon Web Services are growing at an incredible rate. To keep up with that growth, we must continually innovate with new processes and automation that simplify our operations at massive scale. You’ll have a company-wide impact; your work will impact thousands of developers and teams. You’ll help us rapidly launch and scale our services. The processes you enable will benefit Amazon’s external customers.

Why you’ll love it:

You’ll see all aspects of the Amazon business, from our Retail websites to our digital products to the inner workings of Amazon Web Services. You’ll work with massive data sets. You’ll improve the agility of our technical teams. You’ll be part of a growing, fast paced, and innovative team. You’ll have ownership, not just responsibility; and you’ll define and execute processes to deliver both savings and productivity for AWS and Amazon.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong background in identity directory systems architecture and development with demonstrated experience designing, building, and operating global technology solutions. The candidate will possess strong written and verbal communication skills and have a successful track record of delivering large-scale engineering solutions. The desire and ability to work in a fast paced, collaborative environment is essential.

This is a high-impact opportunity with interesting challenges and high visibility. We truly are looking for the highest quality candidates, so you should expect a rigorous technical interview process.
