Job summary

At Amazon, we believe that every day is “Day One.” A day for the first step or to meet a new challenge, and today could be the day that you become part of a bigger idea. Amazon Pharmacy is a full-service pharmacy delivering medications and clinical support to our customers. Pharmacy IT Services is looking for an experienced Systems Admin/Engineer to innovative and have great problem solving and analytical skills, who understands the Agile mindset and DevOps philosophies.

Pharmacy IT Services is a fast-paced environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a “typical” day engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational issues. You will be working in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift quickly and you must be flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks and technologies.

On-Call Responsibility

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every month, for high-severity events related to all of the team’s services and systems.
