Description AWS operates one of the world’s largest and most highly available networks which continues to grow rapidly in both size and complexity in response to customer demand. Many AWS customers run mission critical workloads that depend on our networks to be always on. Network Availability Engineering (NAE) is responsible for preventing, predicting, detecting and remediating impairments across our network, both physical and logical, before they cause impact to our customers.

Here are some reasons you should come work with us: - You will get the opportunity to work closely with a great team - You will handle the complete product and software development lifecycle with your team: defining, prioritising, designing, building, and testing new features - You will understand what it takes to grow and operate a global business at our scale. Active Monitoring systems are a critical component in ensuring the availability of Amazon's global Network. Key job responsibilities - You are interested in being part of a high-bar team with global responsibility for the Network Observability software used across all of Amazon’s businesses. - Solving problems at scale excites you. - You do not implement specs from analysts and architects – you talk to your customers and design solutions to their problems. You automate and innovate. - You do not push just one technology agenda – you choose the best tool for the problem at hand. - You believe that the craft of software engineering is about writing code right the first time.
