AWS Dedicated Cloud Engineer, Team Gumby
Amazon.com
Do you enjoy helping U.S. Intelligence Community and Defense agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve unique technical problems? Would you like to do this using the latest cloud computing technologies and become a core part of the largest cloud infrastructure on the planet?
This is an exciting opportunity to join Amazon's world class technical team! Come work with some of the best and brightest engineers and technical managers while also developing your skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative technology companies anywhere.
AWS CloudWatch is seeking engineers that enjoy diving deep to root cause technical issues, automating manual tasks, and constantly striving for greater service efficiency to improve customer experience. In this role, the candidate will support CloudWatch Monitoring services and operations. The role requires working in a fast-paced environment with our multi-disciplined software development teams to deliver cutting-edge services to our customers.
AWS CloudWatch provides customers actionable visibility into the health of their applications and systems. Key features include web services for submission and retrieval of measurements, a console for presentation, and the ability to notify and automate based on metrics. Teams in CloudWatch solve problems of massive telemetric data scale, distributed systems/cloud computing, data visualization, and workflow.
How do you know if you are a good fit for us? You are passionate about learning and advancing your career. You want to automate common and complex tasks in distributed fault-tolerant systems that operate at scale. You love to proactively dive deep into data to identify the root causes of issues impacting performance and availability. You find performance engineering and service scaling activities to be a joy. Finally, you insist upon giving customers what they want: high quality, highly usable, always-on services.
A strong candidate will have experience working with Linux command line and bash or Python scripting, preferably in large scale, distributed environments; and be conversant with networking and distributed architecture topics. You will have enthusiasm for digging deep and a flare for sharp technical communication, prioritization, and organization.
Together, we’ll deliver the next generation of industry-leading cloud features and help every business run on the cloud. We’ll design, develop, and deploy the most scalable and distributed platforms in the world. We’ll shape not just our own products, but the direction of the industry through our choices!
This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance. The position further requires that, after start, the selected candidate obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.

Key job responsibilities
Team Gumby is seeking highly motivated engineers who are focused on operational excellence and troubleshooting complex system operations, have a good understanding of Linux, networking and general knowledge of cloud services. We need engineers who understand how to think big, and simplify solutions to complex problems; all the while ensuring that our customers continue to have the best experience possible.
A day in the life

Utility Computing (UC)
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry.

Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
Mentorship and Career Growth
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
