Job Specifications
Description:
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain -- and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
As a Support Engineer, you will work with partner teams, user stories, and hardware repair data to drive strategic improvements. You will manage feature and region User Acceptance Testing incoming requests and partner with your team to ensure testing is thorough, defects are properly identified and communicated, and that all documentation maintains high standards. You will stay up to date on applicable data center operation tooling in order to provide impactful feedback on both defects and areas of improvement before features are released. You will work directly with the various service owners and hardware design teams to collaborate on hardware repair workflow instructions. This will include authoring instructions to align with operation capability and ensure clear communication of repair steps. You will be reviewing runbooks and workflow data to collaborate with repair instruction requestors to drive operational improvements and support the needs of specific hardware. You demonstrate excellent judgment when making decisions. You clearly communicate with stakeholders and partner teams. You maintain high standards in documentation and are detail focused.
Support Engineering combines operational support and systems engineering to build and run large-scale, massively distributed, fault-tolerant services and systems dedicated to Government customers. Support Engineers ensures that AWS services - both our internally and externally-visible services - continually raise the bar on security, availability, and scalability. Additionally, Support Engineers keep an ever-watchful eye on our systems' capacity and performance. Much of our focus is to optimizing existing systems, building infrastructure and eliminating work through automation. You will have the opportunity to manage the complex operational challenges of scale, which are unique to AWS, while using your expertise to work with other teams and engineers to drive large-scale system decisions.
Support Engineering's culture of diversity, intellectual curiosity, problem solving, and openness is critical to its success. Our organization brings together people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage them to collaborate, think big and take risks in a fault-free environment. We promote self-direction to work on meaningful projects, while also striving to create an environment that provides the support and mentorship needed to learn and grow.
