Description

Come work on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts; a highly recognized hybrid cloud offering from AWS. AWS Outposts is an on-premises version of AWS public cloud. To learn more about Outposts, you can visit: https://aws.amazon.com/outposts/

We are a start-up like team within a big enterprise. This allows us to take risk and experiment, allows team members to flex their technical muscles and grow in their respective careers, and provides a unique opportunity to be part of the product's growth story. Are you interested in building highly performant hardware used to run the largest cloud computing infrastructures in the world and managing systems at scale? If yes, come join us.

AWS Hardware Engineering Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of AWS server hardware. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Key job responsibilities

You will be part of a team that solves systemic issues, drives changes back into development and builds mechanisms to scale and efficiently operate our infrastructure at the Edge. As a member of the AWS Hardware team, you will work with other subject matter experts in compute, memory, storage technologies to develop and deliver the best customer experience in cloud computing.

We aim to hire engineers who will thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative and open environment, who aren't afraid to dive-deep to solve seemingly impossible challenges, who want to build rock solid never-fail, highly-secure hardware at world-class scale and who obsess over customers.

A day in the life

Your day to day responsibilities will include interfacing with our internal and external customers to understand project requirements and facilitate system development on top of your server design. You will be responsible for solving operational challenges to our existing fleet with the goal of improving the current customer experience as well as developing improved systems for future designs. You will work directly with vendors and ODM/JDM design teams to develop and manufacture your product at scale.

About the team

The team is comprised of Hardware Design Engineers, System Design Engineers, Software Development Engineers, and Technical Program Managers, all with the common goal of delivering the best specialized server fleet possible to our customers.

Why AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Utility Computing (UC)

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.

Inclusive Team Culture

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. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Work/Life Balance

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Mentorship and Career Growth

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
