Senior Systems Developer Engineer

The Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) Serverless team is hiring a cleared senior Systems Development Engineer to lead the technical direction of how we build, deliver, and operate AWS Lambda and container services for U.S. Government agencies. This is an opportunity to own the hardest engineering problems in bringing the latest serverless and container capabilities into air-gapped cloud environments.<br/><br/>In this role, you will join a team of engineers that build and support AWS Lambda and container services (ECS, EKS, ECR, Fargate) in air-gapped cloud environments, as well as the services and tooling we use to operate and deliver these platforms.

You will set the technical approach for multi-quarter projects that span our team and the commercial service teams we partner with, and the systems you design will determine how quickly new Lambda and container capabilities reach every US ADC customer.<br/><br/>A successful senior Systems Development Engineer on our team takes ambiguous, cross-team problems and turns them into designs, plans, and delivered systems. They decide where to adapt a commercial architecture for ADC partition constraints and where to change the architecture itself, and they make that case to the owning service team. They build automation and services that remove whole classes of operational work, not single tasks.

They raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code reviews, and operational reviews, and they grow the engineers around them.<br/><br/>Th
