Job description

The Systems Development Engineer will focus on building automation, tooling, and operational infrastructure for a large-scale disaster recovery service. This role emphasizes treating operations as a software problem, enhancing reliability, security, and efficiency. The team supports a diverse range of operating systems and architectures, requiring robust automation and tooling. The position involves collaboration with multiple teams to improve operational excellence and security compliance.

Requirements

  • Experience in automating, deploying, and supporting large-scale infrastructure.
  • 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 and build processes.
  • Experience with distributed systems at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build software that automates infrastructure provisioning, deployments, and operational workflows.
  • Build and improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment guardrails, and rollback mechanisms.
  • Develop and maintain tooling that works reliably across various operating systems and architectures.
  • Implement monitoring, alarming, and self-healing systems to detect and remediate issues.
  • Tune and scale systems for continuous replication and recovery orchestration.
  • Drive down ticket and incident volume through durable, programmatic fixes.
  • Partner with security teams to harden the service and ensure consistent deployment of fixes.
  • Build automation and tooling that serves multiple teams and raises the operational bar.

Benefits

  • 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.
