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.

A day in the life
On a typical day, you might root-cause a customer-reported API failure across multiple services, whiteboard a concurrency design with a senior engineer, or pair with a teammate on a tricky debugging session. You own your services end-to end: design, code review, deployment, and production monitoring. You'll collaborate with peers and senior engineers on system design, mentor junior engineers, and raise the bar in code reviews. On-call rotations give you direct exposure to how your services behave in production at EC2 scale. Expect a mix of heads-down coding and collaborative design sessions.
