Senior engineers at Amazon are thought leaders and force multipliers who help develop and enhance the talent around them, and for this role you should be comfortable working with business stakeholders to identify and refine new projects, diving deep into technical architectures and requirements, and quickly identifying elegant solutions to development challenges. In this role you will get to work with technical leaders across Amazon, Salesforce, and other industry leaders in the development tools space.
Location: Strong preference for this position to be in Dallas, TX but open to these additional locations: Seattle, WA and Arlington, VA. Relocation offered from within the US to any of these locations.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Design and develop DevOps tools and automate engineering processes to accelerate developer productivity across Amazon.
- Design and develop monitoring tools and alarms used to maintain high system availability.
- Lead critical roadmap development with a team of engineers, working with stakeholders and technical leaders across SFSC and the Amazon developer community to define, build and drive solutions at scale.
- Create and manage application stacks across several domains including DevOps tooling, telemetry, analytics, planning, and performance management.
- Write Infrastructure as a code to build high scale systems in AWS cloud infrastructure.
- Enhance, optimize and maintain CI/CD pipelines that are built on NAWS.
A day in the life
We have a team culture that encourages innovation and we expect team members and management alike to take high degree of ownership for their program vision and execution of ideas. Beyond an excellent engineering, data storage/modeling, visualization, and front-end background, a successful candidate will have experience successfully leading teams, and building scalable infrastructure. We are looking for someone that is a self-starter, someone that approaches complex business questions with data and curiosity, and a person that dives below the surface to identify the root cause and "so what" rather than just superficial trends.
