System Development Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

The AWS Unified Communications Infrastructure team provides globally scaled, high-quality voice and video communications solutions that support hundreds of thousands of Amazonians around the world. Our services touch every element of the business every day: our corporate offices, our customer service teams, fulfillment centers, a diverse development community, and many more.

We are looking for a systems development engineer with a strong foundation in object-oriented programming in a Linux-based enterprise environment. You'll play a key role in architecting, designing, supporting, and enhancing our AWS-based telecommunications infrastructure. You'll use and touch a wide range of technologies and systems, including products we've built from the ground up as well as commercial software. You'll help junior engineers develop their skills, and continue to raise the bar and build the future of Amazon.

Who are you?

You have a strong understanding of large scale computing solutions. You have experience in networking and telecommunications. You have experience building large-scale systems in an enterprise environment, and have implemented automated solutions to manage virtualized infrastructure across all of its lifecycle stages.

You view run book instructions as code that just hasn't been written. Quality is foremost on your mind, and test driven development is your starting point. You think about how to manage systems in mass and to auto-remediate configuration drift.

You love digging into new technologies and figuring out how to incorporate what they offer into your infrastructure.

You're passionate about success. You obsess over how to help your customers do their job, not their computing environment. You understand different people have different needs to be productive, and strive to develop self-service oriented solutions. You have a passion for designing and building cloud-computing systems for a diverse set of customers.

You're an Amazonian.
