Software Development Engineer II, CloudWatch Collectors
Posted Updated
Come and build the future with us as we change the way the world sees the Cloud!
CloudWatch is the observability platform of AWS, built for developers, system operators, site reliability engineers (SRE), and IT managers. CloudWatch collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and events, providing a unified view of AWS resources, applications and services that run on AWS, and on-premises servers. Customers use CloudWatch to set high resolution alarms, visualise logs and metrics side by side, take automated actions, troubleshoot issues, and discover insights to optimise their applications, and ensure they are running smoothly. The CloudWatch team in Dublin is growing and we are looking for exceptional software development engineers to create the next generation CloudWatch experience.
CloudWatch is one of the largest real time data platforms in the world, processing more than 13 quadrillion metric observations per month! This requires teams in CloudWatch to innovate at an unprecedented scale. In CloudWatch we love giving customers what they want: high quality, highly usable, highly available services. It's humbling and energizing to work with excellent, dedicated engineers to build and deliver world-leading service monitoring solutions at AWS scale.
We're looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we've been building.
Cloud watch is a part team is a part of AWS Utility Computing (UC) which provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer for the CloudWatch organisation, you will work in an agile team to design, build and maintain highly available, massively scaled systems used by millions of users worldwide. You will design and implement complex software to the highest quality for the services you and your team own, building our telemetry collection agents in Rust and Go and engaging with the upstream open-source communities, such as OpenTelemetry, that our software is built on and contributes to.
You will help expand our services across all AWS Regions, and when issues arise you will dive deep to understand the root cause and apply fixes that prevent them recurring. You will leverage GenAI and AI-powered development tools to enhance your productivity while staying current with emerging technologies, and you will also mentor junior engineers, helping grow the technical capability of the team.
About the team
Our team owns telemetry collection for CloudWatch, building and operating the agents that gather metrics, logs, and traces at AWS scale.
