We create the tools and mechanisms needed to deploy new EC2 capacity in a fully automated fashion with zero human touch while driving down the footprint needed to run EC2. This work requires innovative solutions for managing complex large scale deployments including configuration, service migration, dependency detection and management and more.
Work/Life BalanceThis position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.Mentorship & Career Growth
