Compute Cloud (EC2) has changed the landscape for computing - from startups
through the Fortune 500. This culture of innovation has permanently altered how
individuals and business think about computing resources.
Now, we look to change the game AGAIN with a new and disruptive model of
computing. We are hiring innovative engineers for EC2 Edge Frontier Outposts - a
start-up like opportunity to build a new line of business, with new
technologies, from the ground-up.
AWS Outposts are fully managed and configurable compute and storage racks built
with AWS-designed hardware that you can use to operate a seamless hybrid cloud.
AWS Outposts extend native AWS services to virtually any customer data center,
co-location space, or on-premises facility.
We aim to hire engineers who will thrive in a collaborative and open
environment, who aren't afraid to dive-deep to solve complex challenges, who
want to build rock solid, 24x7, highly-secure, software at world-class scale and
who obsess over customers.
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
