Description

AWS Directory Service is a fully managed service that allows customers to set up and run directories in the AWS cloud, or to connect AWS resources with their existing on-premises Active Directory. It's a high-scale, highly available distributed system supporting sub-second latency micro-services to a large growing customer base. We support the scale of millions of requests per second and the service needs to be always available.

As a managed offering, we take care of building and maintaining a secure, complex, highly available directory topology for our customers to easily manage their users, groups and resources. We also facilitate automated monitoring, fail-over and recovery, along with automated patching, updates and replication.

As part of the AWS Identity organization, we are pioneers in areas such as identity, access management, security and providing massively scaled, distributed platform capabilities to all of AWS.

We are building some of the largest and most complex distributed systems in the world, and we need passionate engineers like you to work with us on this mission!
