Description

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

These services-in-the-cloud include on-demand compute capacity, storage, content delivery, querying of structured data, message queuing, and more. The AWS team is building and delivering the next generation of cloud computing that supports public AWS offerings like S3, EC2, and CloudFront. We are innovating new ways of building massively scalable distributed systems.

We have high standards for our computer systems as well as our employees: our systems are highly secure highly reliable highly available and should function at massive scale; our employees are super smart driven to serve customers and fun to work with.

We are looking for a System Development Engineer to join our fast-moving and passionate team.

  • Explore the inner workings of AWS Health and AWS Support applications that our customers use and how they communicate with other AWS services. * Collaborate with other AWS Builders to deploy, configure, and troubleshoot tools using 150+ services. * Express your creative innovative ideas to make our team even more awesome!

We want our service to be as autonomous as possible and that can only be done by having bright engineers who understand how to Think Big simplify solutions to complex unprecedented problems all in pursuit of the best customer experience possible. Our environment is built for engineers who flourish in creating automation to reduce the operational workload rather than simply performing operational work all day. Successful candidates will join an elite engineering team and innovate to replace operational tasks with scripts and code. If you are a talented detail-oriented and enthusiastic professional who is passionate about providing exemplary customer service and eager to learn new technologies this position is for you!
