In this role, you will lead the technical vision and architecture for mission critical systems. Our problem space presents the opportunity to innovate in areas such as enterprise scale resource management in the cloud, real time cloud intelligence, and building systems that make it easy for service owners to build and maintain secure systems. You will partner with the leadership team to drive key engineering and business decisions that will influence and impact Amazons software stack on AWS. You will also have the unique opportunity to provide inputs to the next generation of AWS services by representing one of its largest enterprise customers, Amazon.
