About The Position

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation
of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the
cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage,
networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have
continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging
problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re
looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply
chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.
You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest
standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at
the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive
culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The AWS Hardware Engineering team creates server designs for Amazon’s innovative
web services. Our designs are industry-leading in frugality and operational
excellence, and are critical to the success of the AWS business and the more
than one million customers who use AWS today. Our engineers solve challenging
technology problems, and build architecturally sound, high-quality components to
enable AWS to realize critical business strategies.

The ideal candidate for this role will have a proven track record of rapidly
coming up to speed on new engineering disciplines, making impactful decisions
within that space, and have experience gluing together components written by
more specialized engineers to create a cohesive, well-running engineering
product. AWS Engineers are shaping the way people use computers and designing
the future of cloud computing technology – come help us make history!

What you will do: You will be a member of the HWEng Storage Systems team and

building and maintaining software services for data pipeline analytics, health

Why it matters: Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the
overall IT services market and will continue to do so for several years to come.
The scale of AWS, combined with an understanding of how our hardware is used,
creates a unique opportunity for component customization that will directly
benefit customers.

Why you will love it: You will work with engineers across the company to build
next-generation storage servers. You will have a direct impact on our bottom
line and the ability to deliver improvements for our developers. You will be
part of a growing, fast paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the
implementation of your work. You will see direct product improvements based on
