Job description

System Development Engineer, II, Ops Tech Solutions Network Dev

Job ID: 10547018 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Do you want to engineer the systems that help teams proactively detect problems across large-scale infrastructure? Our team builds the telemetry used across Amazon's operations to catch and diagnose availability issues before they affect the people relying on that infrastructure. We develop the software and services that generate, collect, and analyze network and infrastructure telemetry at scale.

In this role, you'll design and build the services and agents that make telemetry data available and impactful. The role includes writing and maintaining agents that run on a range of compute platforms, including network devices, Linux-based clients, and robotics platforms. You'll also build the backend services that analyze and distribute metrics and insights and also control configurations, storage, and reporting.

Key job responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain software services that operate reliably at scale.
Write and maintain agents that run across multiple device platforms, including network devices, Linux-based clients, and robotics platforms, working at the layer where hardware and software meet.
Get into the low-level details of running software on varied hardware: packaging, deployment, permissions, configuration, and service lifecycle across different operating systems and device types.
Build the backend services that process, analyze, and distribute data and handle configuration, storage, and reporting.
Debug problems across the full stack, from the operating system and networking layer on the device up through the backend services.
Improve the performance, reliability, and quality of the systems the team owns.
