At AWS, we're building the future of cloud computing, and we need detail-oriented engineers who can support our service operations while adhering to the highest standards of security and compliance.
You'll have the opportunity to help AWS build the platform that will set the standard for cloud computing.

The ideal candidate must be detail oriented, have superior verbal and written communication skills, strong organizational skills, able to juggle multiple tasks at once, able to work independently and can maintain professionalism under pressure. You must be able to identify problems before they happen and implement solutions that detect and prevent outages. You must be able to accurately prioritize projects, make sound judgments, work to improve the customer experience, and get the right things done.
