Come and build the future with us as we change the way the world sees the Cloud

CloudWatch is an observability service built for developers, system operators, site reliability engineers (SRE), and IT managers.

CloudWatch collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and events, providing a unified view of AWS resources, applications and services that run on AWS, and on-premises servers.

Customers use CloudWatch to set high resolution alarms, visualize logs and metrics side by side, take automated actions, troubleshoot issues, and discover insights to optimize their applications, and ensure they are running smoothly.

The CloudWatch team in Dublin is growing and we are looking for exceptional software development engineers to create the next generation CloudWatch experience.


CloudWatch is one of the largest real time data platforms in the world, processing more than 13 quadrillion metric observations per month This requires teams in CloudWatch to innovate at an unprecedented scale.

In CloudWatch we love giving customers what they want:
high quality, highly usable, highly available services.

It's humbling and energizing to work with excellent, dedicated engineers to build and deliver world-leading service monitoring solutions at AWS scale.


We're looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we've been building.

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.

Key job responsibilities

  • Help expand our services across all AWS Regions.
  • Dive deep on operational issues to understand root cause and apply fixes to avoid repetition of events.
  • Mentor junior engineers.
A day in the life
Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfilment.

On-Call Responsibility
This 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.
