DESCRIPTION
AWS is set to introduce the inaugural European Sovereign Cloud (ESC), marking a significant development in Utility Computing (UC). To spearhead this initiative, we are actively seeking support engineers with a background in cloud operations. As part of the AWS Managed Operations team, you will play a pivotal role in building and leading operations and development teams dedicated to delivering high-availability AWS services, including EC2, S3, Dynamo, Lambda, and Bedrock, for EU customers.
Key Job Responsibilities
Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing the launch of the ESC in 2025, working closely with global AWS teams, and influencing the evolution of AWS services and technology. A typical day in this role involves collaborating with technology leaders, contributing to the enhancement of day-to-day operations, and ensuring improvements in availability, reliability, latency, performance, and efficiency of the ESC. The overarching goal is to deliver scalable services and ensure a high-availability experience for EU customers.
A Day in the Life
You'll typically spend your time resolving less time-sensitive issues for software systems in your team's care, whilst always looking for ways to improve your team's services, procedures, documentation, and tools. When standard operating procedures (SOPs) are not well defined or ambiguous, you'll use your judgement when to escalate, and when to take your time to dive deep and learn. You'll be the go-to person for keeping your team's systems running efficiently.
You will be required to occasionally participate in "on-call" rotations to resolve incidents occurring out-of-hours.
