Then come join AWS Managed Operations' Engineering and Data Science team.
In this role, you will advise AWS Managed Operations leaders on strategic technical decisions, and work directly with developers across multiple teams to build out solutions. Your typical day will involve coding, system design, problem solving, design reviews, and various operational tasks.
Our engineers use the latest and greatest AWS technologies to build cloud-native solutions that collect and process hundreds of millions of events from across all AWS to generate insights on operational practices and risks for AWS service teams. 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 operations.
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 new metrics, ops monitoring and ops visualizations solutions that help all Amazonians build, deploy and operate their services reliably across all AWS regions according Well-Architected 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.
