DESCRIPTION

EC2 Catalyst is the team responsible to build one of Earth's largest distributed systems - EC2 - at scale. We own the software and tooling to build the foundation of the cloud in new Regions and Availability zones and our team is growing to support a senior leadership strategic initiative.

AWS is the industry leader in Cloud Computing. We enable our customers to dynamically scale their computing capacity as needed.

We create the tools needed to deploy new EC2 in a fully automated fashion with zero human touch. This work requires innovative solutions for managing complex large scale deployments including configuration, service migration, dependency detection and management and more.

You'll work closely with other foundational AWS service teams including S3, DynamoDB, SNS, SQS, and SWF to deliver capabilities to enable zero-touch region build.
