Amazon Web Services is hiring!

Here is a full list of positions we are hiring for:

http://aws.amazon.com/careers/

We are hiring for Seattle, Dallas, and Virginia in the USA. But there are plenty of remote locations that are hiring. We can relocate employees from pretty much anywhere.

We are ALWAYS hiring, but especially for these positions:

Awesome, jedberg replied :)

I completely agree though. There is a famous quote that goes something along the lines of "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity". If you want "luck", you need to go out and meet people! Go out and cast the net of opportunity!

Funny you linked to that exact AWS page, since I was just on there an hour ago. I was reading AWS for Dummies to prepare for an upcoming interview at AWS. I know you handled reddit's EC2 traffic. What advice would you give to somebody looking to get into a career with AWS? I'm a senior in EE at college with a background in networking and I see Amazon's cloud services only growing in the upcoming decades.
