Key job responsibilities
WHAT DOES A SYSTEMS ENGINEER DO AT AMAZON?
Amazon has a collaborative, purposeful and enthusiastic environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a typical day, engineers might dive deep into understanding the root cause of a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, and consult with senior engineers at Amazon. We own our services and believe in making out-of-hours support as painless as possible. To achieve this, we implement Operational Excellence best practices and strive to automate manual processes.
Our Systems Engineering roles help engineers develop a broad range of skills. They utilise their Linux skills to troubleshoot, innovate fixes and workarounds, keep software up-to-date, and provide data and metrics that help manage the capacity and efficiency of our services. They draw on their networking knowledge to identify and troubleshoot network connectivity issues. They communicate clearly and collaborate with others to deliver results. They are self-starters, comfortable dealing with ambiguity and change. They are customer-obsessed, always looking to understand customer pain points and find resolutions quickly and completely.
