We own EC2 instance launch times end to end. We use rich data drawn from services across EC2 to monitor and understand our customer’s launch experience. As an engineer on our team, you’ll help us to understand our customers launch experience by benchmarking performance, running experiments, detecting anomalies and discovering patterns in how customers interact with us. You’ll get to use data science tools and techniques, and program in various languages that primarily include Java and Python.

On-Call Responsibility
We rotate our on-call responsibilities which means that every 4-6 weeks, you would need to be contactable outside of office hours, however, due to the team largely focusing on investigations and monitoring, this rarely happens.

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. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
