5. Build data collection and aggregation systems at AWS scale.
6. Build error detection and recovery mitigation systems at AWS scale.

A day in the life:

The team is focused on our organization's ability to scale. Automation, software best practices, and good architectural abstractions are key to this endeavor. You will have the opportunity to develop software in a highly cross-functional environment, working side by side with software and hardware teams to optimize customer experience. You will be responsible for building scalable software systems that can be tested throughout the stages of product development including manufacturing and production. You will leverage automation, continuous integration, and fleet metrics to deploy and monitor your changes.

About the team:

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. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.
