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, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

We are looking for an experienced Systems Engineering and Operations Leader to contribute to the growth of our organization within Amazon Web Services.

Key job responsibilities

We are currently looking for a Systems Development and Operations Leader to help us lead a new team in London. You love to work with internal and external customers to execute projects and resolve issues.
