You will be passionate about both development and operations, and have a strong desire to learn about Amazon's development lifecycle.

You will want to dive deep and understand how these large systems work.
If you like to focus on customer experience, are passionate about Security, and act globally and want to contribute to the operational excellence of Amazon and our ADC Spaces, we'd like to meet you!
This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.

- Track the health of our services, identify and fix problems on complex systems with massive scale
- Collaborate with some of the leading minds in distributed systems
- Participating in 24/7 on-call rotation to troubleshoot high severity issues
The candidate should be familiar with Linux, including the following:
- Various distros and their corresponding package management tools
- Permissions and permissions management
- System logging and auditing
- Log parsing using grep, awk, sed, cut, tr, etc
- Remote access via ssh
- Knowledge of procfs & sysfs
- Linux tools (ip, ifconfig, netstat, tcpdump, strace, netcat, ping, telnet, etc)
- System Monitoring Tools (top, *stat tools, etc)
- DNS and tools (bind, host, dig, nslookup, etc)
- Runlevel management tools (systemd, rc.d, inittab, chkconfig, etc)
The candidate should also be familiar with generic development tools and best practices:
- Git (or other CM tools)
- Agile development
- CI/CD or development pipelines
A day in the life
You will bring a detail-oriented approach and excellent problem-solving abilities, backed by a deep understanding of distributed system design and delivery. Your contributions will leverage cross-functional business and technical skills, assessing and managing risks, measuring and reporting on progress, anticipating and resolving bottlenecks, providing escalation management, making tradeoffs, and balancing business needs with technical constraints.
You will drive engineering deliverables through influence rather than authority, manage repair requests in a high-volume environment, and respond to high-severity events. Regular presentations to senior leadership will require you to synthesize problems and solutions into a simple and consumable manner. Additionally, you will be responsible for data collection, analytics, and dashboard creation to help others identify the best paths for business improvement.
