• Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, or Rust.
• Experience with Linux/Unix.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines build processes.
• 2+ years of designing or architecting new and existing systems.
• Experience using infrastructure-as-code to design and deploy cloud services.
• Experience with distributed systems at scale.
• Experience in an AWS environment, including VPC, EC2, EBS, S3, SQS, CloudFormation, and Lambda.
• Experience in network fundamentals such as DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, routing, switching, and HTTP.
• Experience in Kubernetes, Docker, or containers ecosystem.
• Experience working with scientists in a research environment.
• Experience with high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

• Administer and automate cloud-based HPC environments by deploying and maintaining clusters, managing OS and software stacks, building containers, provisioning users, and securing systems.
• Support computer-aided engineering and computational science workflows by improving HPC environment robustness, performance, and availability across instance types and regions.
• Anticipate and expand CQC computational capacity, leveraging AWS to accelerate the quantum hardware design cycle.
• Design reproducible development environments and own dependency, build, and release management across interdependent research software projects.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines and automate provisioning using infrastructure-as-code.
• Maintain Amazon's high security bar while enabling fast-paced development and implement observability and monitoring for rapid debugging and high uptime.

• Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
