About The Position

As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to
provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and

operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses
through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve
enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s
real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers
prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that
are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

Are you passionate about cloud computing and eager to start your engineering
career journey? Do you have a foundation in systems engineering, network
engineering, or programming - whether self-taught, through a skills program, or
formal education? We're looking for curious minds ready to grow and make an
impact in Amazon's cloud infrastructure.

At AWS, we're building the future of cloud computing, and we need
detail-oriented engineers who can support our service operations while adhering

You'll have the opportunity to help AWS build the platform that will set the
standard for cloud computing. You will have to make difficult prioritization
decisions, iterate and innovate, and think through large-scale globally
distributed systems problems. You will have to think about how to provide
advanced functionality while maintaining a 100% availability guarantee. As a
lead member of our growing team, you will be involved in all aspects of the
software development lifecycle and interact with many other engineering teams
across Amazon.

As an ADC Engineer, you'll be part of a team that ensures the reliability and
security of our cloud infrastructure. Whether you're investigating operational
issues, working on service builds, or supporting customer cases, you'll develop
deep technical expertise while working in a structured environment that promotes
learning and growth.

The ideal candidate must be detail oriented, have superior verbal and written
communication skills, strong organizational skills, able to juggle multiple
tasks at once, able to work independently and can maintain professionalism under
pressure. You must be able to identify problems before they happen and implement
solutions that detect and prevent outages. You must be able to accurately
prioritize projects, make sound judgments, work to improve the customer
experience, and get the right things done.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our
culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000
employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings,
and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations
on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (diversity) conferences. Amazon’s
culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which
remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn
trust.
