We are responsible for the scaling, reliability, and regional expansion of these services—ensuring that AWS's government customers have a seamless, secure, and performant experience across console, SDK, and documentation touchpoints. The candidate selected must obtain and maintain a security clearance at the TS/SCI with polygraph level. Upon start, the selected candidate will be sponsored for a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work. Key job responsibilities ### Our work spans the breadth of AWS from build automation and service operations to development of tools that accelerate region launches and maintain experience parity across dedicated cloud environments. We are looking for a System Development Engineer to help us build, scale, and operate critical services that directly impact how US Government customers interact with AWS. You'll work on a collaborative, geographically distributed team that values autonomy, ownership, and technical depth. ### A day in the life No two days on Keya look the same—but here's what a typical day might look like: You are a builder who thrives on solving real-world problems at scale. You're comfortable operating in ambiguity, you take ownership of outcomes (not just tasks), and you're energized by the challenge of keeping critical systems running reliably for customers who depend on them. You bring strong technical fundamentals, a bias for automation over manual work, and the curiosity to learn new systems quickly—because on Keya, you'll touch a lot of them. You start your morning reviewing service dashboards and alarms, checking the health of the CX services your team owns across dedicated cloud partitions. After standup with your distributed team, you dive into a design document for a new automation that will cut a manual region-launch task from hours to minutes. Mid-morning, you pair with a teammate to debug a latency spike in one of your APIs—tracing the issue across service boundaries, identifying a misconfigured retry policy, and pushing a fix through your CI/CD pipeline. After lunch, you join a cross-team architecture review with engineers from another AWS service team, providing input on how their changes will interact with your services in government partitions. Later in the afternoon, you're writing code—maybe building a new CloudWatch alarm integration, extending an internal CLI tool, or implementing a feature on your team's roadmap. You wrap up the day by updating your design doc based on feedback from a senior engineer and queuing up a code review for tomorrow. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 17, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 31 days - Location: US, CO, Denver[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10551894/system-development-engineer-keya) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Amazon Dedicated Cloud Engineer, Region Reliability](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/6adddb4518790f72d868/) US, CO, Denver ### [Amazon Dedicated Cloud Engineer, Region Reliability Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/29083835fac3cf8bb8a0/) US, CO, Denver ### [Cloud Hardware Development Engineer, Storage, AWS Hardware Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/d52e48e5c0e2a93864ca/) US, CO, Denver ### [Cloud Hardware Development Engineer, Storage, AWS Hardware Engineering, Hardware Engineering Services](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/804ca621d9b1b627e543/) US, CO, Denver ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [System Test Development Intern (Missile Focus), Summer 2027](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/169485581eb702bc5a1f/) BAE Systems · Rockville, Maryland, United States ### [AI Mission System Development and Integration Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/1b4873723ee8167e5936/) Lockheed Martin · Fort Worth, TX, Littleton, CO, Sunnyvale, CA, Orlando, FL ### [AI Mission System Engineering & Development Sr Mgr](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/f8ac3b9ffae2c7aa5ef2/) Lockheed Martin · Fort Worth, TX, Sunnyvale, CA, Orlando, FL, Littleton, CO ### [Product Development Engineer- Battery Cell/System Modeling Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ford-motor/jobs/1fc169f5793e59460677/) Ford Motor · Dearborn, MI, United States ### [System Engineer (IC Engine Development)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/paccar/jobs/11fa10049e7a2cb8f165/) Paccar · Pune, IN OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
