  • 2+ years of experience designing or architecting systems.
  • Knowledge of systems engineering fundamentals including networking, storage, and operating systems.
  • Experience programming with at least one modern language such as C++, C#, Java, Python, Golang, PowerShell, or Ruby.
  • Current, active US Government Security Clearance of TS/SCI with Polygraph.
  • Experience with PowerShell, Python, Ruby, or Java is preferred.
  • Experience working in an Agile environment using the Scrum methodology.

Responsibilities

  • Ensure Route 53 and Perimeter Protection services maintain a 100% uptime SLA.
  • Deploy software and troubleshoot software failures to minimize human involvement through automation.
  • Manage and monitor systems in air-gapped regions.
  • Build software-based solutions to improve system management and monitoring.
  • Identify and investigate systemic patterns in implementations that are not highly available or have defects.
  • Resolve, mitigate, or escalate operational concerns in a timely manner.

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.
