System Development Engineer, Marketplace

Final date to receive applications:
Oct 4, 2026

We are seeking a talented cleared engineer to help enable and expand AWS Marketplace into isolated and government cloud regions. You'll build the tooling, automation, and infrastructure that empower service teams to deploy into new partitions — from infrastructure-as-code and deployment pipelines to regional onboarding automation and operational support tooling. If you thrive at the intersection of software development, systems engineering, and cloud operations in high-security environments, we want to talk.

Amazon Web Services is seeking a Systems Development Engineer to join the AWS Marketplace Special Regions Enablement Team (SRET), which owns the infrastructure, automation, and deployment tooling that enables Marketplace services to operate in air-gapped government regions. You'll work across the stack — building CDK constructs, CI/CD pipelines, AI-powered operational tooling, and automation that unblock service teams deploying into classified partitions where standard commercial patterns don't apply.

• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure-as-code (CDK/Cloud Formation) for deploying Marketplace services into classified partitions
• Build and operate CI/CD pipelines tailored to air-gapped and isolated environments
• Partner directly with service teams to unblock their regional deployments and resolve environment-specific issues
• Drive automation that reduces operational toil and improves deployment velocity across regions
• Contribute to operational readiness reviews and region launch activities
• Troubleshoot complex cross-service and cross-region issues, researching root causes and driving resolution
• Leverage and build AI-powered tooling to accelerate operational workflows and improve developer productivity
• Participate in an on-call rotation to support mission-critical regional services

On a typical day you might troubleshoot a deployment pipeline failure in an isolated partition, build new CDK automation for an upcoming region launch, pair with a service team to resolve a region-specific configuration issue, or design a new approach to automate a previously manual onboarding process. You'll operate with high autonomy, own problems end-to-end, and ship solutions that directly impact when and how services go live for government customers.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance. The position further requires that, after start, the selected candidate obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.

The AWS Marketplace Special Regions Enablement Team (SRET) enables and supports the expansion of AWS Marketplace into classified and isolated cloud partitions. We build the tooling, automation, and infrastructure that empower service teams to deploy Marketplace capabilities into air-gapped government regions. Our work spans infrastructure-as-code, deployment pipelines, operational readiness, and direct partnership with service teams navigating the unique constraints of high-security environments.

We're a small, high-trust team where every engineer has outsized impact.

We take work-life balance seriously. The problems we solve are hard and the mission matters, but we don't believe burnout produces great engineering. We maintain sustainable pace, respect boundaries, and trust each other to manage time responsibly. When the team is healthy, the work is better — and we actively protect that.

This role requires on-site presence at one of our listed office locations five days per week. We believe that…
