AWS Incident Response Support Engineer, AWS Incident Response
Job ID: 2811087 | Amazon Support Services Pty Ltd
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
AWS Incident Response is at the heart of high availability of Amazon Web Services. We make customer impacting events shorter and less frequent by providing large scale event and incident management. Our automated tooling quickly identifies the cause of an issue and helps mitigate its impact, and much of our engineer time is spent on projects to improve the tooling and automation. We also provide manual incident management for AWS and other Amazon groups, directing the resolution of an issue with service teams, and diving deep into those events to drive improvements to the tooling. It's an exciting time to join our team as we are rapidly growing and expanding.
As a Support Engineer on the TechOps team your mission is reducing the duration, frequency, and impact of issues within the AWS and Amazon infrastructure. You will direct the resolution of high visibility incidents by leading conference calls and teams across the globe. You will mentor others, helping them grow their incident management skills. You'll dig into data to identify trends, and will propose and drive projects so that the next event is shorter or avoided entirely. Your work will make an impact across all of AWS with executive level visibility. If interested, you'll also have the opportunity to grow your coding skills by taking on development projects matched to your ability level. If you're looking for a team with great growth potential and an opportunity to make a huge impact, this is the team to join.
