Job Description:
Do you love decomposing problems to develop products that impact
millions of people around the world? Would you enjoy identifying,
defining, and building software solutions that revolutionize how
businesses operate? AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product
innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple
Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to
consistently released new product innovations that continue to set
AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of
the UC organization, you'll support the development and management
of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform,
and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon
Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require
specialized security solutions for their cloud services. Would you
enjoy diving deep into operating and improving some of the largest
software systems humanity has ever built? Do the challenges that
come of driving technical, business, and cultural change to improve
the reliability, performance, and efficiency excite you? The AWS
Managed Operations (MO) organization was founded in April 2023,
with the objective to reduce operational load and toil through
long-term engineering projects. Managed Operations (MO) is building
the best-in-class engineering and operations team that will own the
day-to-day operations for AWS Regions; improving the availability,
reliability, latency, performance and efficiency to operate AWS
regions. Amazon is looking for highly motivated Senior Systems
Development Engineers who can balance the day-to-day operations of
AWS' software systems with long-term software engineering to reduce
operational toil. We need engineers who enjoy constantly learning
and diving deep into the wide range of systems and technologies
that make up one of the world's largest cloud providers. 10012 Key
job responsibilities
You'll roughly spend 50% of your time operating production systems
and 50% making long-term improvements to the reliability,
availability, and performance of those software systems. An example
week could look like: Monday morning you root caused why some
deployments that recently failed, and in the afternoon, you made
fixes for those bugs. Tuesday you realized there's actually a
common thread to those bug fixes yesterday, and designed a solution
to that class of problem, seeking feedback from your team. On
Wednesday you investigated a Service Level Objective (SLO) that
recently became less than useful. You dove deep, talked with the
partner team, and found out the thresholds no-longer makes sense,
so you updated their infrastructure as code (IaC) to fix it. Then
on Thursday and Friday you were developing software with your team
on a system you designed which safely replaces the fleets in your
team's care with a more optimal hardware type, increasing the
performance whilst decreasing its carbon emissions. A day in the
life
You'll roughly spend 50% of your time operating production systems
and 50% making long-term improvements to the reliability,
availability, and performance of those software systems. Over the
course of a week, this could look like; Monday morning you root
caused deployments that recently failed, and in the afternoon, you
made fixes for those bugs. Tuesday and Wednesday you executed a
highly sensitive time critical change to production. Thursday and
Friday you were developing software with your team to remove humans
from the loop on problems like you worked on over the previous two
days, driving a common source of error out of the system and
improving its reliability. About the team
