Description
The region service Messaging and Streaming Team (MAST) is a customer experience-oriented team which is looking for a self-motivated talented engineer who can solve complex problems and have a vision to improvise the service support. MAST builds and supports Messaging and Streaming services such as Kinesis Data Streams, Simple Queue Service (SQS), Simple Notification Service (SNS), Amazon MQ, and Amazon Managed service for Apache Flink (MSF).
We are looking for a skilled programer who can build and improve services provided by AWS. The engineer will perform software development tasks associated with designing, developing, testing or debugging the services or tools for improvement according to provided design specifications.
Key job responsibilities
Writing, debugging, and testing code to implement new features, fix issues, or enhance existing software.
Participating in architectural design reviews and working through the software development life cycle to implement the solution.
Writing, maintaining and executing the test cases to verify the functionality under development.
Troubleshooting and diagnosing problems and working on solutions.
Participating in 24/7 on-call rotation.
Analysing dashboards and investigating metrics with the vision for improvements.
Developing strategies for resolving identified problems to prevent future occurrences.
About the team
The team has the unique perspective of operating all of the messaging and streaming services, instead of the software components. This enables our team to drive cross organisation initiatives to remove operational hurdles, optimise software delivery, and remove bottlenecks felt by all of AWS.
