Troubleshoot and root-cause customer-impacting issues, and drive deep dives and corrective actions to completion.
Partner with network development engineers to automate repeatable operational work, using AI-assisted development and agent-driven workflows.
Write and review design documents, and mentor engineers through design and code reviews.
A day in the life
On a typical day, you might root-cause a customer-reported issue that spans our services and the network, whiteboard a workflow design with a senior engineer, or pair with a network engineer to automate a task they do by hand today. You'll collaborate with software and network engineers in Dublin and the US on system design. On-call rotations give you direct exposure to how your services and the network behave in production at AWS scale. Expect a mix of heads-down building and collaborative design sessions.
About the team
We prioritize availability and invest heavily in deployment safety and monitoring. As our network is one of the largest in the world, there is no blueprint at our scale, so engineers have the autonomy to drive technical decisions and own the results. We favor automation over manual work, are early adopters of AI in our development and operations, and value clear, peer-reviewed documentation for our technical decisions.
Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Experience leading the architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and current systems
Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Java, C++, or C# including object-oriented design
Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
