Mentorship & Career Growth

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.

Our senior engineers truly enjoy mentoring more junior engineers and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.

On-Call Responsibility

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant.

When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.

We’re looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers;

someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we’ve been building.

Ideal Candidate Experience and Background

The ideal candidate would possess strong analytical, design, problem solving skills and experience in building & operating high performance systems at scale.

You should have experience working with other senior engineers, mentoring junior engineers, and working with senior leaders to define your team's roadmap.

Experience in the storage industry is helpful but not required.
