    Job Description

    At Amazon, we strive to be Earth's most customer-centric company, where people can find and discover anything they want to buy online. We hire the world's brightest minds, offering them an environment in which they can relentlessly improve the customer experience. Innovation and creativity are built into the DNA of the company and are encouraged at all levels of employment. Every day we solve complex technical and business problems with ingenuity and simplicity. We're making history and the good news is we've only just begun.

    Amazon"s IT Logistics and Imaging Team (ITS-LIT) operates a warehouse-scale production floor that images, provisions, and manages the lifecycle of every corporate laptop and device deployed to Amazonians across the United States. Our IT team at SEA124 (Ouroboros) in Renton, WA processes over 1,000 devices per day across 11 imaging lanes and two shifts.

    We are seeking a senior IT Support Engineer to join our team as a technical leader. In this role, you"ll work self-directed - owning projects end-to-end, building automation to reduce manual effort, troubleshooting difficult problems without playbooks, and partnering with internal teams and vendors to drive solutions. You"ll mentor junior engineers, own change management processes, and contribute to the tools and systems that make our production floor run. This role requires someone who can identify problems independently, create solutions with limited guidance, and communicate technical decisions clearly to leadership.

    If you"re someone who works best with autonomy, solves problems others can"t, and builds solutions that scale beyond yourself, this role is for you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Lead and execute technical projects spanning multiple systems or locations, partnering with internal teams and vendors to drive completion
    • Troubleshoot difficult IT problems without existing SOPs - identify root cause, resolve or escalate with appropriate context and data
    • Design and implement automation, scripting, and tooling to reduce manual effort and improve production efficiency
    • Plan, coordinate, and execute change management activities impacting multiple systems or locations; develop templates for others to follow
    • Serve as a technical mentor and first point of escalation for junior engineers; provide coaching, quality audits, and constructive feedback
    • Create, review, and optimize SOPs, knowledge base articles, and technical documentation; define process steps so others can solve similar problems
    • Own COEs and drive resulting action items to resolution
    • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts that impact team or organization goals
    • Communicate technical decisions and project status effectively to stakeholders and leadership

    A day in the life

    Your work is self-directed. You assess what needs attention - maybe an infrastructure issue affecting production, a vendor deliverable that needs validation, or an automation project nearing completion. You troubleshoot problems that don"t have runbooks, coordinate with partner teams when the fix isn"t in your control, and build tools that prevent the problem from recurring. You mentor junior engineers along the way and communicate progress to leadership. No one assigns your daily tasks, you determine priorities based on impact.

    About the team

    We"re Amazon"s primary imaging center for North America - a warehouse team that prepares and ships every corporate laptop before an employee"s first day. We process thousands of devices weekly across multiple imaging lanes and shifts. You"ll work alongside engineers, technicians, and operations specialists who build their own tools, write their own procedures, and own their programs end-to-end. Our culture is hands-on, direct, and team-first. We value people who take ownership, communicate clearly, and look for ways to improve how things work. Every day brings something different.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
