Description

　　Managing trillions of objects in storage, retrieving them in sub-x ms, building software that deploys to tens of thousands of hosts, achieving 99.999999999% (you didn’t read that wrong, that’s 11 nines!) durability. These are just a few of the numbers that give you a sense of the scale of the exciting problems you will find every day working in Simple Storage Service (S3) and Glacier.

　　The Region Services S3 and Glacier Engineering team are looking for talented engineers who are motivated to solve complex challenges, yet are not constrained by “how things are usually done” and are willing to decompose and reinvent systems, processes and tools. If you possess that rare mix of depth in Operations, Networking, and Systems Engineering then we are waiting for your application.

　　You’ll be part of a world class team in a fast-paced environment that has the entrepreneurial feel of a start-up.

　　On a “typical” day Engineers might:

　　• Drive the design and implementation of new services

　　• Use your Linux skills to troubleshoot, innovate fixes and workarounds

　　• Dive deep to root cause a customer issue

　　• Investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way

　　• Consult with the top engineers at Amazon

　　• Discuss radical new approaches to automate operational issues

　　• Implement automation to scale operational efficiencies

　　The team has the unique perspective of operating all of S3 and Glacier, instead of the software components. This enables our team to drive cross organization initiatives to remove operational hurdles, optimize software delivery, and remove bottle necks felt by all of AWS. Engineers on this diverse team enjoy diving deep into root causes of issues, automating manual tasks, and continually raising the bar to improve the customer experience.

　　No prior cloud experience is required, but rather this is an opportunity to operate and engineer systems on a massive scale and gain top notch experience in cloud computing, learning AWS from the inside out!

　　We hire exceptional people and we recognise the importance of coaching others. Upon joining the S3 and Glacier Engineering team, every employee is paired with a peer buddy who will help you to quickly come up to speed in understanding the technology we’re building, the tools we use and the business problems we’re trying to solve. We also have a formal mentor search application that lets you find a mentor that works best for you based on location, job family, and job level.

　　We have a diverse team and drive towards an inclusive culture and work environment. Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Our organisation is active in Amazon’s 10+ affinity groups, which bring employees together across businesses and locations around the world. These range from groups such as the Black Employee Network (BEN), Amazon Women in Engineering (AWE) and Glamazon (our LGBTQ+ community).

　　Are you ready to embrace the challenge? Come build the future with us.

　　London, GBR

　　Basic Qualifications

　　• Experience writing scripts from scratch for automating manual tasks (BASH, Python, Perl, or similar)

　　• Solid background in Linux. Familiarity with in depth troubleshooting and ability to solve complex technical problems
