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 delivering high-availability AWS services, including EC2, S3, Dynamo, Lambda, and Bedrock, exclusively for EU customers. For more information on ESC please check out our blog: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in-the-works-aws-european-sovereign-cloud/ Your responsibilities will encompass maintaining and improving the service level of the ESC, working closely with global AWS teams, and influencing the evolution of AWS services and technology. A typical day in this role involves collaborating with engineers in different technical roles, 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. If you are an experienced professional ready for a challenging and impactful opportunity, we invite you to join our efforts in building a best-in-class development engineering and operations team that aligns with AWS' commitment to customer satisfaction and continual innovation.

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. Eligibility requirement * Fluency in written and spoken English is required. * Candidate must be a national of an EU member state and residing in the EU to operate the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. * Amazon will provide relocation support for successful applicants relocating within the European Union. *
