ABOUT US
Amazon has built a reputation for excellence with a mission to be the earth’s most customer-centric company, a company that customers from all over the globe will recognize, value, and trust for both our products and our service. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is carrying on that tradition while leading the world in cloud technologies.
The AWS Incident Detection and Response team is part of the Enhanced Support Services (ES2) organisation within AWS Support, and is dedicated to offering eligible AWS Enterprise Support customers proactive engagement and incident management to reduce the potential for failure and to accelerate recovery of critical workloads from disruption. We achieve these objectives by working closely with customers to develop runbooks and response plans customized to the context of each workload onboarded to the service. Onboarded workloads are monitored 24x7 by a team of Incident Management Engineers (IMEs) to detect and engage customers on a call bridge within 5 minutes of a critical alarm.
ABOUT YOU
Incident Management Engineers have a broad skill set with demonstrated career progression and a proven track record of delivering results. The successful candidate will possess strong analytical acumen, solid technology experience, superb business judgment, strategic account ownership and a propensity to dive deep to solve complex problems. You will also have a passion for creating/providing a world class experience for our customers. The candidate must understand the competitive and industry landscape and must have the leadership presence and communication skills to effectively work with customers at all levels of their organization. You must be a self-starter and able to execute at both a tactical and strategic level – with a strong attention to detail. This is a global role that requires excellent written and verbal communication skills and a passion and desire for leading the resolution of critical incidents. Your decisions are not only fundamental to helping protect our most critical customers but will help maintain the health of AWS customers worldwide.
Finally, you are passionate about technology with a desire to learn more and do more with AWS.
