Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Amazon Full time
AWS is set to introduce the inaugural European Sovereign Cloud (ESC), marking a significant development in utility computing (UC).

To spearhead this initiative, we are actively seeking experienced systems development engineers with a strong background in automation and operations.

As part of the AWS Managed Operations team, you will play a pivotal role in building and leading operations and development teams dedicated to 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:


Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing the launch of the ESC in 2025, working closely with global AWS teams, and influencing the evolution of AWS services and technology.

A typical day in this role involves collaborating with technology leaders, contributing to the enhancement of day-to-day operations, and ensuring improvements in availability, reliability, latency, performance, and efficiency of the ESC.

You will be required to occasionally participate in "on-call" rotations to resolve incidents occurring out-of-hours.

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.

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 typical day in this role involves collaborating with technology leaders, contributing to the enhancement of day-to-day operations, and ensuring improvements in availability, reliability, latency, performance, and efficiency of the ESC.

You will be required to occasionally participate in "on-call" rotations to resolve incidents occurring out-of-hours.
