Job description

Amazon Corporate Services Pty Ltd

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global data centre infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centres and all 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 support these challenges.

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 globally 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.

You will be a valued member of an exceptional global team working on local problems, thriving in a dynamic and enthusiastic environment that combines dedication and enjoyment.

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), you will get hands‑on experience with tools and services that exist outside the scope of native AWS products. This presents an exciting opportunity to engage with systems you might not encounter otherwise, allowing you to gain invaluable experience in infrastructure development.

Key job responsibilities

• Experience in technical support, or experience troubleshooting and debugging technical systems
• Experience scripting in modern program languages
• Hold or be able to attain an Australian Government Security Vetting Agency clearance (see https://www.agsva.gov.au/applicants/eligibility-and-suitability)

A day in the life

• Dive deep to pinpoint the underlying causes of software-based issues, providing valuable assistance in escalations when necessary.
• Apply Linux expertise to troubleshoot, innovate solutions, and resolve technical issues.
• Efficiently managing ticket queues for both our internal team and partner service teams ensuring service level agreements (SLAs) are met.
• Leading the team to enhance operational efficiency by analysing root causes, trends and developing metrics, procedures, tools and documentation.
• Engaging with internal service teams to contribute to company‑wide initiatives, including tasks such as patching, operating system migrations, and code releases.
• Working with various internal software development teams to actively enhance systems and services within the team’s scope.
• Collaborating closely with experienced engineers and actively engaging in knowledge‑sharing sessions with the team.

Our team is a unique blend of problem solvers, systems thinkers, and infrastructure enthusiasts. We don't just maintain systems; we innovate, automate, and continuously push the boundaries of what's possible in infrastructure reliability.
