Inclusive Team Culture :

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally.

We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences.

Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Work / Life Balance :

The Systems Manager team values work-life balance. We value different lifestyles that people have e.g. daycare pickups, helping a partner who works weekends, caring for aging parents, going to the gym once a day - and we want to provide an inclusive environment for everyone.

Most days, our entire team is co-located in the Arlington, VA(Amazon HQ2) office, but we’re also flexible when people occasionally need to work from home.

We generally keep core in-office hours from 10am to 4pm. About half of us come in earlier and the other half of us stay later.

We are builder-operators of our services at AWS and have an on-call rotation where you’ll participate once every 5-6 weeks.

We work to reduce our on-call load by ensuring that our systems are fault tolerant, and resolve the root cause of an issue so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.

Mentorship and Career Growth :

We are focused on the growth and development of every member of the team, and that includes our SDEs. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the culture and direction of the entire Systems Manager organization and deliver initiatives that will improve the life of all of our teams.

This is a growth environment - we’re hiring and scaling rapidly to meet the needs of our customers. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your scope of influence naturally as we scale and we will have to hire and develop others along the way.
