ADC Engineer II, ADC Messaging Team
Amazon, Arlington, Virginia, United States, 22201
DESCRIPTION
Do you enjoy helping U.S. Intelligence Community and Defense agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve unique technical problems? Would you like to do this using the latest cloud computing technologies and become a core part of the largest cloud infrastructure on the planet?
This is an exciting opportunity to join Amazon's world-class technical team! Come work with some of the best and brightest engineers and technical managers while also developing your skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative technology companies anywhere.
AWS ADC Messaging team is seeking engineers that enjoy diving deep to root cause technical issues, automating manual tasks, and constantly striving for greater service efficiency to improve customer experience. In this role, the candidate will support Simple Queue Service (SQS) and Simple Notification Service (SNS) messaging services and operations. The role requires working in a fast-paced environment with our multi-disciplined software development teams to deliver cutting-edge services to our customers.
How do you know if you are a good fit for us? You are passionate about learning and advancing your career. You want to automate common and complex tasks in distributed fault-tolerant systems that operate at scale. You love to proactively dive deep into data to identify the root causes of issues impacting performance and availability. You find performance engineering and service scaling activities to be a joy. Finally, you insist upon giving customers what they want: high quality, highly usable, always-on services.
A strong candidate will have experience working with Linux command line and bash or Python scripting, preferably in large scale, distributed environments; and be conversant with networking and distributed architecture topics. You will have enthusiasm for digging deep and a flair for sharp technical communication, prioritization, and organization.
This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance. The position further requires that, after start, the selected candidate obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph or commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
Key job responsibilities The ADC Messaging team is seeking highly motivated engineers who are focused on operational excellence and troubleshooting complex system operations, have a good understanding of Linux, networking and general knowledge of cloud services. We need engineers who understand how to think big and simplify solutions to complex problems; all the while ensuring that our customers continue to have the best experience possible.
You will be able to take a defined project, break down the work to help define milestones, and feedback mechanisms. You identify when implementations are not highly available or have defects; you investigate systemic patterns. You resolve, mitigate, or escalate operational concerns in a timely manner.
A day in the life On a "typical" day, our engineers may dive deep to find the root cause of a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending in the wrong direction, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational processes. As a member of our team, you will join a dedicated group of engineers who provide troubleshooting and operations support, and innovate to automate operational tasks.
