The Amazon Retail Website has hundreds of millions of customers globally who can be impacted by these types of incidents; the work we do to mitigate them helps real people at a tremendous scale.
Our automated tooling quickly identifies the cause of an issue and helps mitigate the impact, and much of our engineers' time is spent on projects to improve the tooling, automation, and processes to avoid future occurrences.
We help direct the resolution of an issue to the relevant service teams, and dive deep into those events retrospectively to drive improvements to our process.
It's an exciting time to join our team as we are rapidly growing and expanding our offerings globally.As a System Development Engineer, you will build tooling to automate the detection and resolution of issues within Amazon's Retail Website infrastructure.
You will also spend a portion of your time directing the resolution of high visibility incidents by leading conference calls, taking notes to collect data and help improve our processes.
Using data and insights learned from those incidents, you will drive further improvements into our automation, tooling, and processes so that the next event is shorter, less severe, or avoided entirely.
You will participate on project teams to expand use of our tooling to additional areas across Amazon.
This position will be part of a globally distributed team of 20+ engineers across Austin, Dublin, and Sydney to allow for 24x7 coverage.
Each group will work 10 hour shifts for 4 days a week.
