Amazon Web Services is seeking talented Amazon Dedicated Cloud Engineers to join our Region Reliability Engineering (RRE) team. Our mission is to ensure the seamless operation of AWS’s dedicated cloud regions through proactive reliability engineering, automation, and leading-edge solutions.

We welcome engineers willing to think differently, redesigning systems, processes, and tools to deliver operational excellence on a massive scale.

If you’re ready to dive deep, solve complex technical issues, and make a visible impact in cloud computing, we’re excited to meet you.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance. The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance and complete polygraph for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.

Key job responsibilities

• Innovate and Automate: Develop and implement innovative solutions to reduce repetitive tasks, building systems that minimize manual intervention, reduce cognitive load, and allow for proactive issue resolution. Build with technologies like Amazon Bedrock to reimagine reliability engineering.


• Enhance Regional Reliability: Expand regional coverage for AWS’s critical services.


• Deep Dive and Troubleshoot: Conduct deep dives into system and service interdependencies, proactively identifying and resolving region-specific challenges before they impact mission-critical operations.


• Mentorship and Growth: Collaborate with industry-recognized engineers, engaging in continuous learning and contributing to a culture of excellence and reliability.


• Support National Security: Partner with U.S. Intelligence and Defense agencies to ensure mission resilience, implementing secure, reliable, and scalable cloud solutions.

A day in the life

On a typical day, you’ll work alongside our service engineers and preemptively resolve potential issues, drive automation efforts, and consult with leading technical experts within AWS. You’ll help build and operate high-performing systems that will be critical in reducing operational burden for other AWS Dedicated Cloud teams, enhancing regional reliability through scalability, innovation, and automation. You will help us reimagine and continuously improve reliability engineering.

You’ll work with a team that believes in tackling hard problems, growing expertise, and driving a more reliable and resilient future for AWS’s largest government customers.
