You"ll own features end-to-end and make the implementation decisions yourself * Build integrations with Amazon Bedrock for natural-language alarm summarization, pattern detection, and triage assistance. This is an applied engineering role - you"ll integrate and orchestrate AI services, not build or train models. Expect to prototype, measure, and iterate * Contribute to the Automated Triage and Ticketing Engine: services that classify, prioritize, and route alarms to the appropriate data center engineering operations teams with contextual information for faster resolution * Define infrastructure as code using AWS CDK. You"ll write the constructs, wire up the pipelines, and own the operational health of what you deploy * Participate in design reviews - both authoring designs for your own work and providing meaningful feedback on others". You"re expected to bring your own proposals and trade-off analysis * Mentor SDE1s on the team through code review, pairing, and helping them grow into autonomous contributors. Train new teammates on how our systems work and how they fit into the bigger picture A day in the life Your morning might start with a standup giving an update on a new alarm correlation service, then shift into a code review where you give thoughtful feedback to an SDE1 on a Lambda function. You spend a focused block writing TypeScript CDK to wire up a new alarm analysis pipeline, then debug a production issue that surfaced overnight - finding the root cause and writing a permanent fix. After lunch you join a design review for a teammate"s proposal, asking the questions that surface unstated assumptions. You wrap up by prototyping a Bedrock integration for alarm summarization. About the team SKG is led by Eleanor Scott and operates with high ownership and autonomy over our services end-to-end. The Seattle team is a small group of SDEs. As an SDE2 you"ll be a core autonomous contributor: owning features, raising the bar in reviews, and helping more junior engineers grow. * Why AWS* Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating - that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses. * Diverse Experiences* ## Related Videos - [30 powerful AWS hacks in just 30 minutes: Boost your developer productivity](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1624-30-powerful-aws-hacks-in-just-30-minutes-boost-your-developer-productivity) - [Building Reliable Serverless Applications with AWS CDK and Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/812-building-reliable-serverless-applications-with-aws-cdk-and-testing) - [JavaScript?
