About the Job
Come change the way the world sees the Cloud!
The CloudWatch Logs team builds and manages some of the largest logging in the world.

On the Logs team you’ll get to build critical monitoring services that impact every single AWS customer, both internally and externally – there’s not many teams' that can say that!
This is a full-stack development position, leaning towards back-end work.
CloudWatch Logs enables customers to explore, study, and visualize their logs so they can troubleshoot operational problems quickly and easily. It scales with log volume and query complexity giving answers in seconds. In addition, customers can publish log-based metrics, create alarms, and correlate logs and metrics together in CloudWatch Dashboards for complete operational visibility. We are building new monitoring and observability services and are shaping the future for the next generation of Logs Insights and advanced analytics that help customers reduce their mean-time-to-resolution.

About the team
We are a team in CloudWatch Logs. More specifically, our team owns the lifecycle and storage management of several Exabytes of customer's Log data, and our services run their tasks in a daily basis. Additionally, we are working to add features to answer our Customer's requests and delight them improving latency and reliability of our services. For instance, our team shipped these public facing features in the past year (PutAccountPolicy, Account Level DataProtection, Account Level SubscriptionFilters). As you can imagine, there are scaling problems when you deal with Exabytes of information that are sometimes hard to predict. We tackle these on our day-to-day operations and strive to being able to predict and fix them before they happen. We are also focusing on improving our deployment capabilities, so we can deliver features even faster.
