Utility Computing (UC) European Sovereign Cloud (ESC) is a part of AWS 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. Within AWS UC, Managed Operations engineers engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
A day in the life You'll spend a majority of your time operating and improving one of the largest software systems. As a responsible engineer, you've learned never to make changes to production systems without a plan, so you reviewed then executed changes following a change management process to one of the production systems in your care. You round off the week by writing a cool script that you shared with your team which helps get to root cause faster of a hard problem that you diagnosed earlier.
Eligibility requirement Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
