Systems Development Engineer, Amazon Enterprise Services

Systems Development Engineer, Amazon Enterprise Services

We are looking for an experienced Systems Development Engineer with deep expertise in designing and supporting enterprise-scale infrastructure. You will be responsible for the design, implementation, and quality of services you deliver to Amazionians.

Who are you? You have a strong understanding of large‑scale computing solutions. You have experience working as a systems development engineer or in an enterprise environment, and have implemented automated solutions across a variety of applications and systems. You enjoy writing code and creating tools to manage your services. You’re passionate about success. You understand that different people have different needs to be productive, and you strive to develop self‑service oriented solutions. You have a passion for learning, designing, and building cloud computing systems for a diverse set of customers.

You’re an Amazonian.

The focus for this role is building, enhancing, and maintaining extensible services used across Amazon. These systems leverage server‑less technologies such as DynamoDB, Lambda, Secrets Manager, API Gateway, among others.

Systems Development Engineers: The role evolved as the company grew. The inspiration for the Systems Development Engineer came from Systems Engineers who built unique technology to solve business and customer problems.

Systems Development Engineers perform traditional Systems Engineering and write or develop scripts, applications, or mechanisms to manage infrastructure. The role was created for the “builder” population of Systems Engineers who go beyond using basic tools and GUIs to implement infrastructure as code and even server‑less systems.

Enterprise Engineering: Enterprise Engineering owns the key products, services, and tools Amazonians use to securely and reliably access corporate resources, communicate with one another, and collaborate with customers.

Enterprise Engineering builds services ranging from network access to customer‑facing software to meet the needs of our number one customer: Amazon. All Amazonians and variable staff rely on our products at all Amazon corporate, customer service, fulfillment, retail, and affiliate sites across the globe.

Amazon is a unique organization, and this an above‑average job. We’ll give you the opportunity to make a difference to our business. We’re looking for an exceptional professional with outstanding technical skills, with the opportunity to realize Amazon’s motto: “Work Hard. Have Fun. Make History.”

This role requires scheduled after‑hours paging for high‑severity events related to all of the team’s services and systems. Paging availability is required for after‑hours weekday, weekend and holiday coverage. The pager rotates throughout the team to balance the load.

Basic Qualifications

- 2+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience

- 1+ years of designing or architecting new and existing systems (design patterns, reliability, and scaling)

- 7+ years of administrative experience in networking, storage systems, operating systems, and hands‑on systems engineering experience
