Dublin, Ireland Amazon Full time

Support Engineer - Incident Management, AWS Incident Response (AIR)

Job ID: 2865353 | Amazon Development Centre Ireland Limited

AWS Incident Response is at the heart of high availability of Amazon Web Services. We make customer impacting events shorter and less frequent by providing large scale event and incident management. Our automated tooling quickly identifies the cause of an issue and helps mitigate its impact, and much of our engineer time is spent on projects to improve the tooling and automation. We also provide manual incident management for AWS and other Amazon groups, directing the resolution of an issue with service teams, and diving deep into those events to drive improvements to the tooling. It's an exciting time to join our team as we are rapidly growing and expanding our offerings.

As a Support Engineer on the team you will lead projects and build processes to reduce the duration, frequency, and impact of issues within the AWS and Amazon infrastructure. You will also spend a portion of your time directing the resolution of high visibility incidents by leading conference calls and teams across the globe. Using data learned from those incidents you will drive further improvements into our automation, tooling, and processes so that the next event is shorter or avoided entirely. You will participate on project teams to expand use of our tooling to additional areas across Amazon. You'll also have the opportunity to grow your coding skills by taking on development projects matched to your ability level. If you're looking for a supportive team with great growth potential and an opportunity to make a huge impact, this is the team to join.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Key job responsibilities

1. Critical Issue Resolution and Call Management: Act as the primary point of contact in a team rotation for customer impacting issues. Monitor performance graphs, drive resolution calls with a large number of service team members, and page additional engineers as needed until the root cause is identified. Please note this could include some weekends and holidays.
2. Root Cause Analysis and Prevention: Identify and analyse recurring platform issues, leading projects to address root causes and implement long-term preventative measures.
3. Automation and Efficiency Projects: Apply scripting and automation skills to projects that improve team efficiency and operational excellence, reducing manual work and streamlining incident resolution processes.
4. Documentation and SOP Development: Design, create, and review documentation, including new standard operating procedures, to improve knowledge sharing and incident response speed.
5. Mentorship and Knowledge Sharing: Provide mentorship to peers in technical troubleshooting and incident management best practices.
6. Global Project Leadership: Lead cross-functional, global project teams to implement operational improvements and automation initiatives.

A day in the life

A Support Engineer on the AWS Incident Response team has full visibility on all AWS services There are limitless opportunities to learn as we work with AWS internal teams and have visibility into all AWS products and services.

When oncall, we provide incident management capabilities through conference calls and automation, to support internal AWS teams during the response, diagnosis and mitigation of large scale events.

When not oncall, we build processes and automation to help AWS experience fewer, shorter and smaller customer impacting incidents.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
