WHAT DOES A SYSTEMS ENGINEER DO AT AMAZON?

Amazon has a collaborative, purposeful and enthusiastic environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a typical day engineers might dive deep into understanding the root cause of a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way and consult with senior engineers at Amazon.
