Job Information
Amazon Executive Assistant in Seattle, Washington
Description
We are looking for someone to support both the Infrastructure Security Team and the Amazon Domain Name Services (DNS) Team (known as Route 53). We are looking for an Executive Assistant who wants to work in a fast-paced, exciting, and growing organization.
The Infrastructure Security Team is responsible for the security and risk management of the AWS Infrastructure. We build systems that detect, assess and mitigate risk across the global infrastructure and are accountable for keeping the Amazon Infrastructure secure and compliant with customer requirements.
Route 53 is responsible for DNS names for all of Amazon. We build systems that automatically recognize networking conditions and route customer traffic to the endpoints behind these names. Most AWS services either directly or indirectly depend on Route 53.
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.
