Amazon

​Systems Development Engineer

Come change the way the world sees the Cloud!

​Amazon CloudWatch gives customers actionable visibility into the health of their applications and services. Today we run one of the largest time-series data stores on the planet and teams in CloudWatch solve problems of massive metric ingestion, distributed systems/cloud computing, data visualization, log processing and analytics, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics. Our services are the “eyes and ears” for customers everywhere, both inside Amazon along with AWS customers across the world.

​We are looking for systems development engineers that are passionate about building, maintaining, and automating the systems that underpin the robust CloudWatch system. On any given day, we use Python, Java, GoLang, Ruby, SQL, Lambda, DynamoDB, and CloudFormation, as well as other public AWS services and a host of Amazon-internal tools. We don’t expect you to be an expert in, or necessarily even be familiar with, all of the technologies listed above, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them!

​In this role you’ll help CloudWatch expand into new regions, remove development friction, and collaborate with a team of Systems Developers to help shape the future for the next generation of Logs Insights and Logs-based applications to help customers reduce the mean-time-to resolution. You’ll apply your creative and critical problem solving skills to develop and run multi-tenant at massive scale services.

​Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. We are partnered with a team of mostly mid-level engineers who enjoy helping new engineers grow through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.

​We take code reviews seriously. We believe that good code reviews raise our code quality, grow our technical acumen, and provide opportunities to support and share knowledge with each other.

​We care about your career growth. We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a more well-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

​Our team is family-oriented and values work-life balance. Most days, our team is located in our northern VA office, but we’re also flexible when people occasionally need to work from home. We generally keep core in-office hours from 10am to 4pm. About half of us come in earlier and the other half of us stay later.

​We are looking for new team members who are enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, and reliable; someone who will help us build the positive team culture we’ve been cultivating.
