Job summary

Are you ready to make a BIG difference? Join the AWS Managed Services team at the forefront of cloud technologies with interactions and integration across the full breadth of AWS services. Imagine if you could upload enterprise-level applications and software onto the cloud, and not have to worry about the associated routine tasks that ensure optimal performance. What if you could design intelligent software that could implement these tasks and return immediate and actionable information to its users?

We are building software that automates infrastructure operations and provides recommendations to AWS users who are eager for deep insights into cost optimisation, performance, security, and fault tolerance. As an engineer on our team, you will become an AWS expert who understands and works with a variety of AWS services to build and deliver highly available, performant, and scalable systems to delight our customers. You will be surrounded by world-class engineers who are experts in their field, passionate about cloud computing, and excel at developing innovative solutions to solve customer problems.

Our goal is to increase enterprise adoption of AWS by providing an AWS infrastructure operations management service. AWS Managed Services provides automated outcomes for critical infrastructure operations (e.g. operations as code) across change management, provisioning, monitoring, remediation, patch, backup, recovery, logging, compliance, and security.

You’ll likely spend some time writing some Python or Java code for your latest feature, or ensuring your recent feature is operationally excellent by reviewing its monitoring, documentation or security needs. You’ll have an afternoon sprint stand-up meeting, and check in with the 2-3 others working on your project stream.
