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.

Amazon has a fast-paced environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a “typical” day engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational issues.

• 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, BitBucket, 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.
