Overview

Do you believe cloud computing will be a disruptive force in government? Do you want to architect and develop new tools to help international governments implement the cloud-enabled agencies/ministries of tomorrow? Do you enjoy mission-driven development, building awesome software, and integrating across a wide variety of services?

Amazon Web Services is seeking a top industry technical expert to grow our team dedicated to expanding our Controlled Working Environment (CWE) team to build, operate and maintain a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) approved infrastructure. We are seeking Systems Development Engineers to build and support this working environment.

Our Systems Development Engineers spend time:

  • Investigating new ways to improve operations.
  • Defining and developing new solutions to solve technically complex cloud issues for our customers.
  • Investigating system variances about to affect customer applications before an actual outage occurs.
  • Diving deep into new service announcements to determine unique ways to implement them to improve the effectiveness of the CWE.
  • Managing user applications like JIRA, Confluence, Bit Bucket, Duo, etc.
  • Studying and learning from industry recognized Amazon distinguished engineers.

Due to federal contracts, this position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen.
