From there you will work to deploy data pipelines or meet with stakeholders to intake new projects or initiatives. You will constantly collaborate with other engineers to deploy and maintain your solutions. Your work will contribute to data center operations, AWS inventory decisions, network design, and ensure AWS data center availability. Our team values personal growth, Friday’s are blocked from meetings to free up your time for learning new skills and tech. Our team members are located in Seattle, Denver, California, and Virginia.
