Description
Amazon Stores Tier One Support (C-TOS) is the first line of defense for maintaining high availability in the Amazon Retail Website. We make customer impacting events shorter, less frequent, and less severe, by providing large scale event and incident management. The Amazon Retail Website has hundreds of millions of customers globally who can be impacted by these types of incidents; the work we do to mitigate them helps real people at a tremendous scale. Our automated tooling quickly identifies the cause of an issue and helps mitigate the impact, and much of our engineers’ time is spent on projects to improve the tooling, automation, and processes to avoid future occurrences. We help direct the resolution of an issue to the relevant service teams, and dive deep into those events retrospectively to drive improvements to our process. It's an exciting time to join our team as we are rapidly growing and expanding our offerings globally.
As a TPM you will help shape and drive incident management and response programs, including tooling and engineering efforts for the worldwide Amazon retail websites. You will also spend a portion of your time directing the resolution of high visibility incidents by leading conference calls, taking notes to collect data and help improve our processes. Using data and insights learned from those incidents you will drive further improvements into our automation, tooling, and processes so that the next event is shorter, less severe, or avoided entirely. You will participate and lead project teams to expand use of our tooling to additional areas across Amazon.
This position is part of a globally distributed team of 20+ engineers across Austin, Dublin, and Sydney to allow for 24x7 coverage. If you're looking for a team with great growth potential and an opportunity to make a huge impact, this is the team to join.
