System Development Engineer, ADC - RAPP; Route 53 and Perimeter Protection

Description

Final date to receive applications:
May 2, 2026. Would you like to implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve the world’s most complex technical problems? Do you have a deep passion and desire to engineer and operate the world’s largest cloud computing infrastructure to build a better world for future generations?

This is an exciting opportunity to use the latest cloud computing technologies to help U.S. Government agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve technical problems. AWS established a specialized group of service teams responsible for the work we are doing with the U.S. Intelligence Community. We are building some of the largest and most complex distributed systems in the world, and we need adaptable people to help us implement and operate them.

The AWS RAPP (Route 53 and Perimeter Protection) ADC team is seeking highly motivated engineers who are focused on operational excellence, troubleshooting complex system operations, have a good understanding of Linux, networking, and general knowledge of cloud services. We also look for engineers who can use their software knowledge to automate the way we manage and scale our services. We need engineers who understand how to think big, simplify solutions to complex problems, while ensuring that our customers continue to have the best experience possible.

You will be able to take a defined project, break down the work to help define milestones and feedback mechanisms. You identify when implementations are not highly available or have defects; you investigate systemic patterns. You resolve, mitigate, or expedite operational concerns in a timely manner.
