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.
