System Development Engineer Opportunity

Would you like to be an engineer that builds the cloud, rather than an engineer that just uses it? At AWS, our engineers look after the behind-the-scenes software and tools that make the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure possible. We have an amazing opportunity for you to join a world-class network team in a dynamic environment that has the feel of a start-up. As a system development engineer you will help to deploy, manage, fix and reinvent the tools, services and components that network engineering rely on to automate our network and keep it operational. Your internal customers are your network engineer colleagues, and through close collaboration, support and exchange of ideas, we share a common goal to serve our external customers and grow through learning and innovation. If you are exceptionally motivated and passionate about the work you do then we welcome you to join us, working in an Agile environment with the most advanced tools, processes and talented people in the industry to make the cloud a reality.

What you'll be working on:

• Simplifying and reinventing systems, processes, and tools to make things better for our customers
• Managing and growing innovative, production-quality tools to solve real operational problems for our network
• Investigating technical issues scientifically and thoroughly, and assist in fixing them so they don't come back
• Providing technical solutions to real business problems in a global organization

Top reasons to join our team:

• Be a catalyst to deliver truly disruptive products that are growing rapidly
• Define, build, own, and run a service in a high growth environment
• Build and influence the tools and utilities that are part of the AWS fleet running our internal services
• Learning from industry recognized Amazon distinguished engineers

Key job responsibilities:

A sysDE is responsible for maintaining their teams' services, requiring them to troubleshoot and identify the root causes of any issues that arise within their systems and any subcomponents. A sysDE will utilise testing, monitoring, and validations on their services, tools, and infrastructure to ensure their teams can continuously deploy new versions of the services with minimal interruption. A sysDE will identify areas to invent, refine, and develop automation and tools to reduce manual operations and fulfil the requirements of the business and their customers.

A day in the life:

On a typical day, engineers might dive deep into understanding the root cause of a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult with top engineers at Amazon or discuss radical new approaches to automate solutions to operational issues.
