The Region Services team is seeking highly motivated engineers who are focused on operational excellence and troubleshooting complex system operations, have a good understanding of Linux, networking and general knowledge of cloud services. We need engineers who understand how to think big, and simplify solutions to complex problems; all the while ensuring that our customers continue to have the best experience possible.

Key job responsibilities

The Region Services team provides the highest caliber of Operational Solutions and Cleared Support for services within our Regions. We provide ‘hands on keyboard’ support to our service teams by deploying changes into these isolated regions, monitoring the results, and reporting any issues that are observed.

On a “typical” day, our engineers may dive deep to find the root cause of a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending in the wrong direction, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational processes. As a member of our team you will join a dedicated group of engineers who provide troubleshooting and operations support, and innovate to automate operational tasks.
