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.

The AWS Hardware Engineering team creates server archival storage designs for Amazon’s innovative web services. Our designs are industry‑leading in frugality and operational excellence, and are critical to the success of the AWS business and the more than one million customers who use AWS today. Our engineers solve challenging technology problems, and build architecturally sound, high-quality components to enable AWS to realize critical business strategies.

The ideal candidate for this role will have a proven track record of rapidly coming up to speed on new engineering disciplines, making impactful decisions within that space, and have experience gluing together components written by more specialized engineers to create a cohesive, well‑running engineering product. AWS Engineers are shaping the way people use computers and designing the future of cloud computing technology – come help us make history!

• Lead development of AWS storage servers and storage devices, collaborating with engineers across the company.
• Build and maintain software services for data pipeline analytics, health dispositions and remediations, qualification, validation, and testing.
• Own trusted server systems, utilizing data analytics to monitor health of servers and archival storage systems, deploying software solutions for improvement, including OS level changes, automated testing, data analysis, operational dashboard generation, and new NPIs.
• Address problems at scale, using algorithmic solutions to identify and prevent repetitive events.

Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the overall IT services market and will continue to do so for several years to come. The scale of AWS, combined with an understanding of how our hardware is used, creates a unique opportunity for component customization that will directly benefit customers.

You will work with engineers across the company to build next‑generation trusted servers and archival storage systems. You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and the ability to deliver improvements for our developers. You will be part of a growing, fast‑paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work and will see direct product improvements based on the results of your work.

The team owns all of the crypto trusted servers and archival storage systems in AWS. We constantly introduce new technology, software, and analytics to scale the fleet. Given the size of the fleet, nothing can be done one off, and thus we focus on algorithmic solutions to each issue.
