You will engage various stakeholders, such as the internal builder teams who actually needs to fix the issue, along with Amazon Leo Leadership, Legal, and the leadership from the impacted team.
As the day progresses, new issues will be automatically assigned to you based on your workload and you will be responsible for triaging them, determining their level of impact, and work towards resolving them at the appropriate pace.
At the end of the shift, you will document all the issues you are tracking so they can be taken over by the site relieving you.
