Job Description

The EC2 Instance Quality team provides monitoring for the health and availability of all of AWS’s EC2 instances globally. Imagine the massive scale at which we need to collect, process, and distribute our data. We assess and report the health of every individual instance across all of AWS globally, which accounts for a substantial portion of all Internet servers in the world.

We perform this incredible feat of engineering every minute of every day. Our APIs and data are crucial to our customers for deployments, autoscaling, and incident response.

We need your help to give engineers and operators even more visibility into the health of their cloud servers. How could you give engineers more flexible and programmable ways to monitor the health of their servers? What creative ways could you find to scale-up these capabilities with the massive growth of cloud computing?

As an engineer on the Instance Quality team, you will…
- Collaborate with your teammates to architect distributed systems that scale-up with the growth of AWS.
- Develop software to give our customers visibility into the health of their servers.
- Collaborate with teams at AWS to feed instance health data into other products, such as autoscaling, auto-remediation, etc.
- Share in an on-call rotation with your team to assist with incident response when there is a major customer disruption.
- Share knowledge, feedback, and mentoring with your teammates to help make this team one in which everyone can do their best work.

We asked the engineers on this team what energizes them most. Here is what they said:
- Ability to have a very large impact on AWS and our customers, especially given that AWS is the most successful cloud provider in the world.
- Satisfaction of building something that works at such massive scale.
- Learning from supportive teammates with more experience and deeper skills.
- Having influence over AWS’s products.

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 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each manager develop into a better-rounded leader and enable them to take on more impactful challenges in the future.
