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.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Key job responsibilities
You will solve complex and ambiguous problems, efficiently and with high-quality. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the definition, vision, design, roadmap, development, and operationalization of customer-facing services. You will be given an outcome and the freedom to set the direction based on data driven decisions

You will be part of a startup with the backing of a large company.
In this role, you'll contribute to critical and highly-visible function within the AWS business. You will work alongside other talented builders, and across multiple teams. You have the opportunity to hire and shape the team to continue to outperform expectations

You will incorporate customer input and ensure consistency and intuitiveness of our services. You will build highly available and fault tolerant distributed systems. You'll find this role engaging, challenging, and full of opportunities to learn and grow.

You will have a large impact on AWS and the cloud computing industry.
A day in the life
You must ensure our solutions meet the needs of our most important customers - our own developers. You will be a hands-on technical lead. You will work with customers to gather requirements and generate technical designs, and you will carry the project through all the software lifecycle stages

You'll develop products that enable builders to develop and operate robust, high-quality software and safely, securely, and reliably deploy it. You will use your strong leadership and communication skills to mentor other engineers and provide training and support for our technologies. You will have access to senior leadership and engineering staff.
About the team
We serve many customers, and play a critical role and multiplying effect across Networking services

We run very lean and scale with the business, without repeated technical or operational burden. We use Rust, Go, Python (and many other things) in NAWS. We touch everything from embedded systems and kernel, to GRPC/Rest APIs and your favorite front-end stack (ours is React).

We own and support every service across different verticals:
* Product - We own solutions that provide visibility into business-driving metrics, aggregate information, trigger actions, and help leaders manage this domain.
* Build and release - we own the CI/CD charter. We push commits through pipelines that compile binaries, build images, debug symbols, go through multiple stages of validation, and push updates to millions of devices across the Amazon network. We aim to simplify and reduce the time to release new content to the network, automate processes, etc.
* Validation and qualification - builders use our testing frameworks to validate the OS

We own tooling for unit/integration/functional/system testing, and static analysis (but don't own the tests). We aim to improve quality by reducing defects, increasing the expressiveness of the testing scenarios, and reducing feedback loop.
* Infrastructure - we own and support datacenter labs with tooling that manages inventory, reservations, capacity auto-scaling/provisioning/recovery, sanity checks, etc. This is the underlying infrastructure of the ecosystem.
