If building secure systems that safely deploy server software to one of the world"s largest storage services excites you, the EBS Server Agility team is the place to do it. Our team builds and operates the deployment and patching infrastructure that keeps EBS server software current and secure across 400,000+ bare-metal servers - infrastructure that serves millions of AWS customers and exabytes of data every day.
We"re looking for a Software Development Engineer to design and build core components of our deployment and patching systems - from automated security patching workflows to train deployment pipelines that safely roll out new server software across dozens of AWS regions with zero customer impact. You"ll tackle complex problems involving safe deployment to stateful storage systems, automated rollback and canary analysis, manifest consistency, and secure autonomous server operations.
Server deployment at EBS sits in the critical path for security compliance and feature velocity. You"ll work alongside senior engineers and principal engineers across EC2 and EBS, contributing to cross-service integrations that make server deployments safer and more efficient. If you want to build secure systems that deploy themselves at AWS scale, we"d love to talk to you.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
Your work spans the full range of deployment engineering - from working through new payload requests and figuring out how to safely integrate new server components into the deployment train, to analyzing deployment data to identify inefficiencies and designing automated anomaly detection for the deployment services. You"ll brainstorm rollout strategies for hotfixes that can"t wait for the regular cadence, drive automation that eliminates manual operator steps, and collaborate with principal engineers and teams across EBS and EC2 on cross-service deployment integrations.
This is a high-visibility role. Server deployment decisions affect every EBS customer, and your work directly contributes to systems reviewed by senior leadership. You"ll collaborate across organizational boundaries and contribute to technical decisions that shape how EBS deploys software at scale.
We value engineers who reduce toil through smart automation, make principled tradeoffs between speed and safety, and take ownership of their systems end-to-end.
About the team
You"ll join a group of strong engineers who own the server deployment and patching infrastructure for EBS. We design and operate deployment pipelines that safely deliver validated server software, automated patching systems that keep server software secure on a biweekly cadence, metrics collection infrastructure for deployment observability, and secure operational tooling for autonomous server operations.
We"re a 10-person team in Boston building toward a future where server software patches and deploys itself - safely, securely, on schedule, with full visibility. There"s significant greenfield opportunity: safe deployment to stateful bare-metal systems at global scale has almost no off-the-shelf solutions, so you"ll be designing from first principles.
