GSOC Systems Support Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

The Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) supports Amazon Operations by providing 24/7 services including alarm response, incident triage, and crisis management. The GSOC operates out of Goodyear, Arizona. The GSOC Systems team supports the GSOC by administrating, managing, and developing systems based on the priorities of the business. Each GSOC Systems Support Engineer takes on a combination of roles. The most common tasks this position will participate in are gathering customer requirements, managing issues, troubleshooting systems, documenting the supported systems, and managing backlogs.

The GSOC Systems Support Engineer is the main point of contact for any system related question or issue and will have a significant role in determining the vision and roadmap for the GSOC.

We leverage internal wikis to maintain information concerning our systems and must maintain and consistently improve them. The support engineer will also be responsible for escalating bugs to the development team, and assisting in the prioritization of existing issues.
