• Investigating technical issues scientifically and thoroughly, and assist in fixing them so they don't come back
• Providing technical solutions to real business problems in a global organization

Top reasons to join our team:

• Be a catalyst to deliver truly disruptive products that are growing rapidly
• Define, build, own, and run a service in a high growth environment
• Build and influence the tools and utilities that are part of the AWS fleet running our internal services
