Weekend Amazon Data Engineer Jobs in Minneapolis, MN

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain - and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Are you passionate about building innovative service architectures that solve real world problems in the context of one of the largest networks on Earth

Do you want to be part of a group that is reducing the complexity of operating the global AWS network backbone for our customers. The AWS network is one of the largest networks in the world, and its performance and availability are key differentiators in delivering the best cloud computing platform available.
The AWS Network Backbone Organization owns containerized solutions that protect the AWS network against impact every single day. The team is looking for a Software Development Engineer (SDE) to help expand solutions that support the backbone of the entire AWS global network.
In this role, you will work in a hybrid team of software, systems development, and network engineers to understand requirements and extend platforms that support software-defined networks (SDN)

You are joining a high performing team interacting closely with other engineering teams across USA, Ireland and Australia.
Millions of customers rely on Amazon's network for using our retail websites, accessing content on their Kindles, and building applications and businesses on top of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. Our goal is to become The Infrastructure Platform for the world - achieving this goal requires automated and massively scalable software services. Success depends on our world-class network infrastructure, and our network depends on our automation.
This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months

We don't like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don't get paged for the same issue twice.
Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship

Our senior engineers truly enjoy mentoring more junior engineers and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth. We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

A day in the life
Engineers in the Backbone Enterprise and Regional Engineering (BERE) organization have a wide range
of responsibilities; we work with internal partners to develop and implement the next-generation platforms along with the tooling ecosystems to support these platforms driving efficiency and scalability through the automation of builds, configuration deployment, and the scaling of capacity.

look around corners while taking into consideration our customer needs from a cost, performance, and
reliability perspective

Our team develops tooling that provides the required visibility and control of
traffic across the network, while prioritizing the automatic mitigation of events to minimize the impact
to our customers during events.
In this role you:
Work in a 24x7 team on-call rotation, with ability to drive into workplace for critical events/needs.
