Senior Software Engineer - Deployment Infrastructure, EBS Server Agility
About The Position
If building secure, autonomous systems that safely deploy server software to one of the world's largest storage services excites you, the EBS Server Agility team is the place to do it. Our team builds and operates the deployment and patching infrastructure that keeps EBS server software current and secure across 400,000 bare-metal servers — infrastructure that serves millions of AWS customers and exabytes of data every day. We're looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to drive the technical direction of our deployment and patching systems — from automated security patching that reaches every server every 15 days to train deployment pipelines that safely roll out new server software across dozens of AWS regions with zero customer impact. You'll lead the design of solutions to complex problems involving safe deployment to stateful storage systems, automated rollback and canary analysis, manifest consistency, and the transition from operator-in-the-loop to secure, autonomous server deployments. Server deployment at EBS sits in the critical path for security compliance and feature velocity. We shape how EBS server software evolves to support new hardware platforms, new partitions (including edge and outpost), and new operational models. We regularly partner with principal engineers and teams across EC2 and EBS to deliver integrations that make server deployments safer and more efficient. If you want your technical leadership to have real impact at AWS scale, and you're excited by building secure systems that deploy themselves, we'd love to talk to you.
