The Mechanic Customer Experience (CX) team owns and delivers the user facing experience for the Mechanic operations control plane service. We build user facing web applications and experiences that help reduce operator effort and toil by providing new, innovative and delightful ways to get work done at Amazon.
This is a huge opportunity to start something from the ground up. It’s day 1 with large ambiguous problems to solve. We’re rethinking how operations run within Amazon from ticketing to operator tooling to data analytics and more!

We offer the opportunity for engineers to help define, design, build, and operate new services from end to end. You will work on a dynamic team, collaborate with leading industry experts and gain experience building security services. Come build with us!
