AMVETS Jobs

Description

Corporate Development is seeking an inventive engineer to relentlessly improve the integration of acquired engineering teams, products, and services across Amazon and AWS. Systems Development Engineers (SysDEs) on our integration team contribute to key stages in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) process to accelerate adoption and maximize the benefits of Amazon’s technology delivery capabilities and developer operations tooling. Acquired engineering teams enter Amazon leveraging a diverse set of programming languages and technical delivery frameworks: the SysDE works across these varied organizations and technology footprints in rapid and impactful engagements.

You will obsess over and innovate in development of long-term solutions and architectures that enable our newest engineers through improved safety, agility, and automation. You will use data, developer anecdotes, and your own technical/business judgement to expedite decision making, influence technical or business trade-offs, and contribute to the most complex/ambiguous parts of acquisition project design/implementation. Your actions will be felt by Amazon and AWS customers around the world across a broad range of product and service experiences.

You will deliver value by guiding acquired teams through their adoption of Amazon’s best practices and influencing decisions to result in resilient systems meeting Amazon’s Operational Excellence bar. This is achieved both through educating and active participation in implementation. Merger and acquisition events result in significant change for new engineering teams. Your efforts will demonstrate empathy critically necessary to enable these individuals to successfully navigate change and thrive in the peculiar Amazon culture.
