Job ID: 10573045 | Amazon Development Centre Ireland Limited

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

Amazon has built a reputation for excellence with a mission to be the earth's most customer-centric company — a company that customers from all over the globe will recognize, value, and trust for both our products and our service. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is carrying on that tradition while leading the world in cloud technologies.

The AWS Incident Detection and Response team is part of the ASPIRE organisation within AWS Support and is dedicated to offering eligible AWS Enterprise Support customers proactive engagement and incident management to reduce the potential for failure and to accelerate recovery of critical workloads from disruption. We achieve these objectives by working closely with customers to develop runbooks and response plans customized to the context of each workload onboarded to the service. Onboarded workloads are monitored 24x7 by a team of Incident Management Engineers (IMEs) to detect and engage customers on a call bridge within 5 minutes of a critical alarm.

ABOUT YOU Incident Management Engineers have a broad skill set with demonstrated career progression and a proven track record of delivering results. The successful candidate will possess strong analytical acumen, solid technology experience, superb business judgment, strategic account ownership, and a propensity to dive deep to solve complex problems. You will also have a passion for creating/providing a world class experience for our customers. The candidate must understand the competitive and industry landscape and must have the leadership presence and communication skills to effectively work with customers at all levels of their organization. You must be a self-starter and able to execute at both a tactical and strategic level - with a strong attention to detail. This is a global role that requires excellent written and verbal communication skills and a passion and desire for leading the resolution of critical incidents. Your decisions are not only fundamental to helping protect our most critical customers but will help maintain the health of AWS customers worldwide.

Finally, you are passionate about technology with a desire to learn more and do more with AWS.

ABOUT THE ROLE AWS Support is looking for a leader with a strong background in Incident Management and customer ownership to be there during the moments that matter for our most critical customers. We are looking for an Incident Management Engineer to join our team to provide incident response and account ownership. In this position you will play a pivotal role in providing communication, emergency response, technical resolver engagement, and incident management for our customers.

Please note: as a follow-the-sun organisation, IMEs work the core hours of 9am-5pm AEST. Successful applicants will be required to work some weekends (Sunday to Thursday or Tuesday to Saturday) and public holidays.

• Drive the resolution of large scale customer impacting incidents as part of a team rotation

• Contribute to Problem Records for customers
• Conduct continuous real-time proactive monitoring of customer metrics
• Prioritize, manage, and own emerging and developing customer issues from start to finish
