AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Are you excited about revolutionizing the future of video streaming and advertising technology? AWS Elemental MediaTailor is a cloud-based service that enables content providers to deliver personalized viewing experiences at scale. Our service seamlessly inserts targeted advertising into video streams while maintaining broadcast-quality viewing experiences across all screens and devices. MediaTailor powers some of the world's largest streaming platforms through innovative server-side ad insertion (SSAI) and server-guided ad insertion (SGAI) technology. We're not just handling ad insertion – we're providing sophisticated manifest manipulation, dynamic ad decisioning, and detailed reporting capabilities that help content providers maximize their advertising revenue while delivering pristine viewing experiences to millions of concurrent viewers. As video consumption continues to shift to streaming platforms, our team is at the forefront of developing solutions that bridge traditional TV advertising with the digital future.

Key job responsibilities
Lead the technical design and implementation of large-scale distributed systems that handle millions of concurrent video streaming sessions, ad decisions and measurement while maintaining broadcast-quality viewer experiences.

Drive technical innovation in our microservice architecture running on native AWS infrastructure.

Mentor junior engineers and influence best practices across multiple engineering teams.

Collaborate with product managers to shape the roadmap of our next-generation video personalization features.

A day in the life
At AWS Elemental MediaTailor, no two days are quite the same, but here's what you might experience: You could spend your morning diving deep into optimizing manifest generation or ad decisioning performance, collaborating with other senior engineers to reduce latency by milliseconds – because in live streaming, every millisecond counts. After lunch, you could be leading a design review for a new feature that enables better measurement of ad insertion during high-concurrency, live sports events, weighing trade-offs between different architectural approaches. Later, you might mentor a junior engineer on debugging a complex issue where ad insertion is causing buffering in certain devices, requiring you to analyze logs across multiple AWS services.
