The Maintenance Automation Platform (MAP) team within the Global Reliability and Maintenance Engineering (RME) Central Team is looking for an exceptional software development engineer to join us. In this role, you will work on internal customer-facing front-end and back-end services to help Central RME deliver world-class service to the Amazon network. You and a team of developers will work through all phases of the project lifecycle, including reviewing requirements, designing services that lay the foundation for the new technology platform, building new interfaces and also integrating with existing architectures, developing and testing code, and delivering seamless implementations for our customers. These are exciting fast-paced businesses in which we get to work on extremely interesting customer problems in an environment where you get to learn from other engineers and apply software building skills to help teams build robust, scalable, and reliable systems.
Key job responsibilities
Your work focuses on complex and/or ambiguous problem areas in existing or new software or automation initiatives. You take the long-term view of your team's solutions and how they fit into the team’s architecture. You consider where each solution is in its lifecycle and, where appropriate, proactively fix architecture deficiencies and build reusable code and libraries for future use.
You understand the capabilities and limitations of the systems you work with (e.g., cluster size, concurrent users, data classification). You are able to explain these limitations to technical and non-technical audiences, helping them understand what’s currently possible and which efforts need a technology investment.
You take ownership of team infrastructure, providing a system-wide view and design guidance. You make things simpler. You drive software engineering best practices (e.g., Operational Excellence, code reviews, syntax and naming convention, design pattern, scalability, alarms) and set standards.
You collaborate with customers and other internal partners to refine the problem into specific deliverables, and you understand the business context well enough to recommend alternatives and anticipate future requests. In addition to stakeholders, you may work with partner teams (business and technical) and data engineers/software engineers/data scientists/business analysts/business intelligence engineers to design and deliver the right solution.
You contribute to the professional development of colleagues, improving their business and technical knowledge and their understanding of building robust, scalable solutions.
