Amazon’s Intelligent Cloud Hosting (ICON) Team is looking for a System Development Engineer to join our team in Seattle.

Who are we? We host Amazon’s websites. That includes all of Amazon’s global marketplaces and partner portals, and all of Amazon’s consumer experiences like Kindle, Alexa, Amazon Video, Mobile Application; Physical Stores, Luna.... Not only do we help deliver the HTML that delights our customers, we make sure that all underlying transactions are processed error-free. This includes payments, tax, contracts, returns, inventory, and notifications; and brand new experiences that have never been done before.

In short, we perform cloud infrastructure management at the biggest scale in the known universe. We also look good doing it.

We’re a diverse international team made up of engineers, developers, administrators and managers. We’re obsessed with operational quality, security, reducing cost, increasing availability and keeping the largest eCommerce infrastructure purring.

Our team has offices in Seattle, New York, Dublin, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

We’re looking for a Systems Development Engineer who is inventive, who understands operational excellence, and can work to scale.

A big part of our job is creating and updating strategic SRE tool-kit built on AWS technology. We use these tools across Amazon to deploy, monitor and operate the hundreds of thousands of services that power our highly distributed architecture. Our tools include orchestration, predictive analytics, monitoring, problem diagnosis and automated repair. These let us deploy configurations that intelligently manage how traffic flows through our highly distributed architecture to our delighted customers.

Key job responsibilities
• We do almost everything in Linux. We’re looking for people who are not just hobbyists, but people who’ve tweaked their favorite distro to get things working just the way they like them.
• We need people with a solid grasp of networking fundamentals. This includes experience with load balancers, switches, and routers.
• We need people who can design, implement, maintain and deploy components that solve problems in a complex ecosystem. We work in lots of different languages (not limited to, but most often Python and Java). It is more important to us that you understand coding in the context of working in distributed systems and/or widely scaled web applications.
• We need people with strong written and verbal communication skills and an ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical individuals.
• We want to work with people whose passion for problem solving goes hand-in-glove with their debugging and troubleshooting skills.
• We need people with an ability to self-motivate and follow-through on projects. To us, that means being detail oriented, passionate, and delivering results.
* We need a senior engineer who can support expansion of our customer base, invent and simplify to execute our charter more efficiently, and ensure readiness of our services for major retail events like Prime Day.

About the team
We own connecting Amazon worldwide websites and other consumer experiences such as Kindle, Amazon Video, and Alexa to the internet, as well as ensuring the highest level of availability, security and privacy of the web services that power the experience we deliver to our customers worldwide. We abstract, centralize and optimize the infrastructure management from individual service teams and operate 120+ Tier-1 services on behalf of teams in the Worldwide Consumer org. We own the routing layer built on top of AWS technology that connects traffic at low latency and protects the web services against malicious robot and DDoS attacks.

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the job hunt!

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
