We are looking for someone who can build on existing services and architectures, and is excited to create new automated solutions.

This position is perfect for you if you:

* Would like to gain a deeper understanding of AWS Support Applications services, capabilities, and functionality.

* Are interested in creating tools and automation that enable engineers to be as "hands-off" as possible.

* Have a "Think Big" mentality that empowers you to think outside of the box.

You will have the opportunity to:

* Explore the inner workings of AWS Health and AWS Support applications that our customers use and how they communicate with other AWS services.

* Collaborate with other AWS Builders to deploy, configure, and troubleshoot tools using 150+ services.

We want our service to be as autonomous as possible, and that can only be done by having bright engineers who understand how to Think Big, simplify solutions to complex unprecedented problems, all in pursuit of the best customer experience possible. Our environment is built for engineers who flourish in creating automation to reduce the operational workload rather than simply performing operational work all day.

Successful candidates will join an elite engineering team, and innovate to replace operational tasks with scripts and code. If you are a talented, detail-oriented and enthusiastic professional who is passionate about providing exemplary customer service, and eager to learn new technologies, this position is for you!

Key job responsibilities

* Deliver design for components that solve defined technical problems

* Demonstrate the ability to identify risks and mitigation and make technical trade-offs in your designs and your team's designs
