A Day in the Life
You’ll typically spend your time resolving less time-sensitive issues for software systems in your team’s care, whilst always looking for ways to improve your team’s services, procedures, documentation, and tools. When standard operating procedures (SOPs) are not well defined or ambiguous, you’ll use your judgement when to escalate, and when to take your time to dive deep and learn. You’ll be the go-to person for keeping your team’s systems running efficiently.
You will be required to occasionally participate in “on-call” rotations to resolve incidents occurring out-of-hours.
Eligibility Requirement
1. Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
2. Successful applicants must have the legal right to work in Germany.
3. Amazon will provide relocation support for successful applicants relocating within the European Union.
