* You will interact with a broad cross section of Amazon organizations as you trace through complex interconnected systems to improve the overall operational stance of the organization and root out any issues uncovered along the way.

If you like to focus on Customer Experience, think and act globally and want to contribute to the operational excellence of Amazon data centers, we'd like to meet you. Your work will help to take AWS into the future; innovate cloud computing solutions and solve technical problems.

A day in the life
On a "typical" day, our engineers may dive deep to find the root cause of a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending in the wrong direction, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational processes.

You will lead a team of dedicated engineers who provide troubleshooting and operations support, and innovate to automate operational tasks.

In this role, you will be able to take a defined project, break down the work to help define milestones, and feedback mechanisms:
* Identify when implementations are not highly available or have defects;
* Investigate systemic patterns, and resolve, mitigate, or escalate operational concerns in a timely manner.
