DESCRIPTION
Working at Amazon is working at scale. Does the idea of building solutions for fleets of devices like Linux servers, network devices, and industrial Android devices, in thousands of facilities around the world sound like fun to you? We are looking for talented Systems Development Engineers to join us in our mission to build systems for self-healing devices and infrastructure, deployed globally across our fulfillment operations network.
In this role youll design, build and lead delivery for telemetry gathering and reporting systems, the black boxes at the heart of Amazons global delivery infrastructure. The software you build will run on millions of devices used by one million-plus Amazon associates every day, at thousands of sites around the world, supporting hundreds of teams with a stake in delivering shipments to Amazon retail customers.
Data is at the heart of everything Amazon does and this role ensure our operations support and infrastructure teams can gather insights from telemetry systems to make good decisions, all while building toward our vision of self-healing devices and networks. Over time, your work will proactively fix problems before they even reach customers, and enable us to scale our operations to reach Amazons customers wherever they live. Our facilities stretch from the smallest last-mile delivery stations in emerging markets to one million-plus square foot robotics facilities in North America, Japan, India and the Middle East. In this role youll ensure our teams have eyes on every facet of delivering shipments to Amazon retail customers worldwide.
You should be excited about learning every day and delighting customers by solving problems that impact order fulfillment. You are passionate about software quality, repeat-ability, test-ability and maintainability. When you need clarity, you go to the product customers, perhaps a user, and talk to them until you get it right. You understand the challenges associated with operating a large-scale system in production, and your designs and implementations reflect that understanding.
Our mission is to design systems and platforms that set the global standard for performance, availability, security, and cost, enabling our customer fulfillment and logistics operations to deliver customer orders on time, every time.
