AWS CloudWatch is blazing new trails as a pioneer in the cloud Infrastructure Monitoring, Application Monitoring, and Log Analytics space. We are seeking a Systems Development Engineer to join the team to help us with delivery of large scale automation projects across a broad range of technical arenas.

What is AWS CloudWatch?
We run one of the largest time-series data stores on the planet monitoring more than 13 quadrillion metric observations and triggering 3.9 trillion events per month. Our teams solve problems of large telemetric data scale, distributed systems/cloud computing, data visualization, anomaly detection, predictive analytics, and root cause analysis. Many of the largest web services in the world rely on our technology to drive their operational excellence. We build, operate and continually improve the CloudWatch service for both technical and business users giving them insight into what is important for them.

CloudWatch is part of AWS Utility Computing (UC) that provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Key job responsibilities

• You coordinate with internal teams to uncover infrastructure improvement areas and remove them through automation.
• You contribute toward the forward looking vision for the team.
• You help improve operational excellence by reducing technical debt for the team.

Huge scale and endless automation opportunities! The CloudWatch Infrastructure team operates one of the largest fleets inside of AWS, with tens of thousands of servers to ensure continued customer delight.

Working at our scale requires long term thinking, continuous innovation, large scope for new ideas, interaction with awesome team mates and never ending automation possibilities.
