Job Description

Our team owns 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 will also make improvements in collaboration with teams across EC2. You’ll get to use data science tools and techniques, and program in various languages that primarily include Java and Python.

Utility Computing (UC)

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.

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.
