Key job responsibilities
WHAT DOES A SYSTEMS ENGINEER DO AT AMAZON?
As a Linux Administrator at Amazon you will utilise your Linux skills to troubleshoot, innovate fixes and workarounds, keep software up-to-date and provide data and metrics that help manage the capacity and efficiency of our services. You will draw on your networking knowledge to identity and troubleshoot network connectivity issues.
You understand system design best practices and the importance of implementing systems and services that are secure, scalable, reliable, resilient, efficient and performant.
You communicate clearly and collaborate with others to deliver results. You are a self-starter, comfortable dealing with ambiguity and change. You are customer-obsessed, always looking to understand customer pain points and find resolutions quickly and completely.
A day in the life
Amazon has a collaborative, purposeful and enthusiastic environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a typical day, engineers might dive deep into understanding the root cause of a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way and consult with the top engineers at Amazon. We own our services and believe in making out-of-hours support as painless as possible. To achieve this, we implement Operational Excellence best practices and strive to automate manual processes.
