AWS has successfully launched the European Sovereign Cloud (ESC), marking a significant development in Utility Computing (UC). To spearhead this initiative, we are actively seeking experienced systems engineers with a strong background in cloud operations. As part of the AWS Managed Operations team, you will play a pivotal role in building, operating and evolving 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: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in-the-works-aws-european-sovereign-cloud/
Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing the ongoing operations and expansion 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 technology leaders, contributing to the enhancement of day‑to‑day operations, and ensuring continuous 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.
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. Over the course of a week, you will review the operational health of the services in your team’s care, and as soon as you figure out why there was an anomaly, you write up an actionable bug report. 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. Later in the week, you help to resolve your team’s backlog of operational issues. 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.
You will be required to occasionally participate in an “on‑call” rotations to resolve incidents occurring out‑of‑hours.

Experience in Linux OS and network troubleshooting, or experience in networking administration and troubleshooting.
Experience in Python, Perl, or another scripting language.

Experience in Systems engineering, site reliability engineering, building and operating systems at scale.
Knowledge or experience operating 24x7 high‑availability, distributed software applications, performance tuning software applications and optimizing fleet utilization and monitoring frameworks (such as CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana, Elastic or similar).
Knowledge or experience with Infrastructure as Code, (such as CDK, CloudFormation, Puppet, Chef, Ansible, or similar).
