Job Description
Description
One of the world's highest scale storage platforms is currently looking for a Systems Development Engineer with an obsession for automation. Is this you? How can you tell? You're fascinated with how software applications, their developers and their operators interact to deliver the world-class Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 storage service. You have a long history of asking "What if we do it this way?" and proposing "I could develop a fix for this!" You love working directly with people to diagnose their needs, deliver a solution, and watch it solve their problems. You believe in a full-lifecycle, DevOps-based, software development process that delivers well-designed, tested, and resilient solutions. Your professional pride is deeply wounded any time a customer discovers a bug or your solution doesn't work for them. You're happiest working with a team of world-class engineers that are always learning and sharing new skills and techniques.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of Amazon's fastest growing businesses. It services millions of customers in more than 190 countries and powers the developers who are building the next generation of global industry leaders. AWS runs a globally distributed environment, operating at massive levels of scale. Businesses, from startups to enterprises, run their operations and applications on AWS's multi-tenant infrastructure. Each day, millions of developers execute billions of transactions worldwide on the AWS Cloud.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is storage for the Internet. Through the use of pioneering techniques in distributed computing, developers are able to durably store their data on Amazon's proven computing infrastructure to achieve virtually limitless storage capacity at minimal cost. S3 sets the standard for functionality, cost, and performance for storage in the cloud. With trillions of objects under management, we're one of the most successful services anywhere. But, we're not resting on our laurels... it's still the early days for cloud computing, and there are boundless opportunities to continue to redefine the world of storage.
S3 Unique Regions group is responsible for S3 service in AWS regions beyond the regular public service offerings. These Unique Regions include private regions operated for the U.S. government with stringent security requirements. The group is responsible for operating the S3 service, keeping it up-to-date with public service features, and meeting security and architecture requirements of each unique region.
This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph. The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
Key job responsibilities
- Technical lead for small engineering team through the full software lifecycle.
- Identify, plan, deliver, and operate software and processes that generate Customer Obsessed, business impacting improvements for AWS operations.
A day in the life
As a Systems Development Engineer in the S3 Unique Regions organization, you will:
- Work with AWS engineers to identify process automation opportunities.
- Perform full-lifecycle software development with constant customer interaction to scope, design, implement, test, deliver, and operate software solutions.
- Learn and grow using a DevOps, Agile Scrum, incremental delivery philosophy with highly-supportive peers constantly sharing subject matter expertise and producing peer-reviewed code.
- Participate in on-call rotation supporting our own automation solutions and eventually move to the on-call rotation that operates the entire S3 service itself in unique regions.
About the team
We take joy in building meaningful solutions. We work side-by-side with our customers to solve their challenges and share our victories. We see diversity and inclusion as fundamental with everyone deserving a voice, our respect, and celebration of their contributions. We work as a team to deliver results, share our expertise freely, and grow together as professionals and people.
Basic Qualifications

- 4+ years of programming with at least one modern language such as C++, C#, Java, Python, Golang, PowerShell, Ruby experience

- 2+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 4+ years of deploying and operating in a Linux/Unix environment experience
- Current, active US Government Security Clearance of TS/SCI with Polygraph
Preferred Qualifications
- 1+ years of development/programming/scripting language (Python/Java/Bash/Perl) experience
- Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations
