Jobbeschreibung

Overview

AWS is set to introduce the inaugural European Sovereign Cloud (ESC), marking a significant development in Utility Computing (UC). We are actively seeking experienced systems engineers with a strong background in cloud operations to spearhead this initiative. As part of the AWS Managed Operations team, you will help build and lead operations and development teams delivering high-availability AWS services, including EC2, S3, Dynamo, Lambda, and Bedrock, exclusively for EU customers. For more information on ESC please check out our blog: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in-the-works-aws-european-sovereign-cloud/

Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing the launch of the ESC in 2025, working closely with global AWS teams, and influencing the evolution of AWS services and technology. A typical day involves collaborating with technology leaders, contributing to the enhancement of day-to-day operations, and ensuring improvements in availability, reliability, latency, performance, and efficiency of the ESC. The overarching goal is to deliver scalable services and ensure a high-availability experience for EU customers. If you are an experienced professional ready for a challenging and impactful opportunity, we invite you to join our efforts in building a best-in-class development engineering and operations team that aligns with AWS\' commitment to customer satisfaction and continual innovation.

Utility Computing (UC) and the European Sovereign Cloud (ESC) are part of AWS UC, which provides product innovations from foundational services such as Amazon S3 and EC2 to ongoing new product innovations that differentiate AWS. As a member of the UC organization, you\'ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Managed Operations engineers engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

The day in the life

You\'ll spend a majority of your time operating and improving one of the largest software systems. Over the course of a week, you will review the operational health of the services in your team\'s care, and when you identify an anomaly, you write an actionable bug report. You\'ll follow a change management process to implement changes in production systems, and later in the week help to resolve your team\'s backlog of operational issues. You may also write a script that helps diagnose and resolve hard problems faster.

You will be required to occasionally participate in an on-call rotation to resolve incidents occurring out-of-hours.

Eligibility requirements

• Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
• Candidate must be a national of an EU member state and residing in the EU to operate the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
• Amazon will provide relocation support for successful applicants relocating within the European Union.
• Employees will participate in an On-Call rota.
