Are you passionate about technology and solving hard problems? Do you want to grow your skills as you help us grow and scale the world's largest cloud computing service? Do you want to make history and have fun doing it? If so, Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) is looking for people just like you! EC2 is at the core of AWS services and we are growing every day to meet the demands of our business as we continue to scale.

EC2 Nitro drives the planet’s largest, fastest growing and most feature-rich compute cloud. Nitro is AWS’s ground-up design for virtualization at global scale built on a fully custom stack of hardware, firmware and applications. Nitro has enabled EC2 to support Intel, AMD and Amazon’s custom silicon (Graviton) while raising the industry bar for security and performance across our product line.

Wondering how EC2 Nitro deploys software to one of the largest cloud fleets in the world? We are the EC2 Nitro Deployment team and we build the services responsible for safely deploying software to millions of EC2 hosts in over 30 geographic regions across over a hundred availability zones. We do this by innovating on how to approach updating a fleet of our size and then turning those ideas into a highly available and scalable globally distributed system that provides the mechanisms to ensure the fleet is always up to date. Everything we do has to keep the safety of the EC2 fleet in mind as we are the last line of defense to limit the blast radius of failure modes that can impact customers like Netflix, NASA, Expedia, Snap, and Epic Games.

You will work in Java, Kotlin, S3, DynamoDB, and other public AWS services and Amazon-internal tools. We don’t expect you to be an expert in, or necessarily even be familiar with, all the technologies listed above. We also don’t expect you to be an expert in deployment systems as the problems we must solve are unlike the things most people have ever had to think about.

In this role you will will design build and deploy highly available, distributed, fault tolerant services to empower AWS teams to launch new platforms and maintain availability and durability of the AWS cloud.
