Software Development Engineer II, AWS Managed Operations (Metrics, Monitoring & Automation - MMA) Team
Amazon.com
Are you a Software Engineer who is passionate about automation? Does the idea of working with lots of streaming data using the latest and greatest AWS services excite you? Do you want to design and build software that improves cloud operations at global scale? Come join the AWS Managed Operations organization!
About our Software Development Engineers:
Our engineers use the latest and greatest AWS technologies to build cloud-native big data analytics solutions that collect and process millions of events from across all AWS to generate insights on operational practices and risks. As part of our team, you’ll be challenged to think outside the box and not only meet the needs of our customers today, but to predict and create what they’ll need in the future. You’ll have the opportunity to tackle big technical problems and push the boundaries on what’s possible for cloud computing.
You will collaborate closely with software engineers, data scientists, business analysts, site reliability engineers, front-end engineers, technical program managers and other roles across AWS to create DevOps mechanisms, metrics and visualizations that help all Amazonians build, deploy and operate their services consistently across all AWS regions according to AWS operational excellence best practices. We take code reviews seriously. We believe thorough and respectful code reviews raise our code quality, grow our technical acumen, and provide opportunities to support and share knowledge with each other.
When you’re ready, you will have on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. No one likes getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work hard to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant and resilient. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause of the issue so that we never get paged for the same issue twice.
