The position requires a proactive approach to identifying technical debt and optimizing system performance.

  • Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, or Rust
  • Experience with Linux/Unix
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines build processes
  • 3+ years of designing or architecting new and existing systems
  • Experience with distributed systems at scale

Responsibilities

  • Identify business problems, gather data, propose solutions, and lead implementation.
  • Lead the development and maintenance of systems for generating and deploying ACLs information to network devices.
  • Partner closely with cross-functional teams to align on requirements and best practices for ACL management.
  • Proactively identify and address technical debt and performance bottlenecks.
  • Ensure robust monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting mechanisms are in place for ACL management systems.
  • Exercise high judgment and scrutiny of requests to prevent unsupportable systems and security vulnerabilities.
  • Design the complete solution stack and deliver through others.

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
