Learning to deep-dive into software issues - going beyond surface symptoms to understand root causes
Contributing to internal documentation that helps the wider support team troubleshoot more effectively
Supporting the first-line response team by sharing technical knowledge and helping to upskill colleagues
Getting involved in wider IT projects across the business, gaining exposure to different areas of technology and new challenges
We're looking for people who are great communicators - you'll be speaking with non-technical first-line staff, developers, and customers, so explaining things clearly is critical. This role suits someone naturally curious, who asks the right questions and doesn't stop until they understand the full picture. You don't need prior technical experience, but you do need enthusiasm, a bias for action, and a genuine curiosity about how things work.
Here at Amazon, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Within this apprentice you’ll have the opportunity to learn by doing, putting newfound knowledge into practice every day. Our first-class coaching, tailored development opportunities, and challenging, rewarding work will empower you to reach new heights. If you’re a curious, ambitious learner eager to grow, this is your chance to unlock your full potential and build the future you envision.
You will gain a vast range of useful experiences and skills whilst working towards the Level 4 Digital Infrastructure Engineer Apprenticeship qualification. As a working student your focus is to complete your studies in your 20% off the job time by learning and developing your skills, knowledge and behaviours to work towards successful graduation. You will be set objectives and goals by your training provider and manager to support your studies.
You will build your skills over a 24-month period, starting in September. Your apprenticeship will be made up of classroom/virtual based training to cover knowledge, on-the-job training at your Amazon base location, online learning as well as mentoring from our experienced team members.
We value different perspectives and experiences, and we're dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our employee-led affinity groups including communities for women in tech, LGBTQ+ employees, and underrepresented minorities, foster a culture on inclusion that empowers us to be proud of our differences. These groups provide community, mentorship, and a platform for your voice to be heard. We’re committed to building a workforce that reflects the customers and communities we serve.
We're also continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer, so you'll have the resources and support to develop into a well-rounded professional.
Your career isn't a straight path - it's a journey you build as you go. A universe of opportunity awaits, and your next adventure starts here.
