From Home Incident Command System Jobs in California

We're hiring a Software Development Manager (SDM) to help shape and drive Incident management tooling development efforts as part of the incident response program for the worldwide Amazon retail websites.

Amazon incidents are complex, fast paced, and deeply nuanced.
