Key job responsibilities
System Development Engineer II design and deliver technology solutions which solve difficult business problems. You identify and solve ambiguous problems, architectural deficiencies, or areas where your team’s systems hinder the innovation of other teams, and are learning to do this for other teams in your organization. You work autonomously, but may seek direction at times from peers and your manager. You consider the legacy of the systems you build with your team and how they will scale and evolve over time. Your solutions are pragmatic, efficient, and cost-effective. You make appropriate trade-offs and re-use or extend prior work where possible. When faced with short-term workarounds, you either avoid them entirely, take action to replace them with long-term solutions, or escalate their over-use as necessary. You thoroughly test your work. You consistently write clear, accurate, and concise documentation for your own solutions and improve your team’s existing documentation.
While your work is mostly tactical, as a trusted technical contributor on your team you are beginning to participate in strategic planning and decision-making with customers, partner teams, and peers. You are learning to work backwards from the customer experience, helping to balance customer requirements with team requirements and influence your team’s goals and programs. You begin to participate in your organization’s Operational Planning process. You are an active reviewer of your team’s technology solutions and operations. You are able to train new teammates, helping them understand your team’s customers, systems, and processes. You recognize discordant views and take part in a constructive dialogue to resolve them. You participate in hiring and developing others, and effectively mentor others on your team or on teams within your organization.
You consistently demonstrate operational excellence in all facets of your work. You deeply understand your team’s systems and can thoroughly diagnose problems in all aspects of operations, including hardware, software, and operating environments. You work to resolve the root cause of difficult performance, reliability, or availability issues and deliver innovative solutions, leaving systems better than when you found them. You learn how your team’s components behave as part of the larger organizational system, and how to analyze systems to identify operational risks at the product or service level. You improve your team’s operational health by participating in design, operations and post-incident reviews to identify risks to resilience. You then deliver projects that mitigate those risks. You may improve operational excellence across teams and provide guidance to peers outside your own team.
This position is perfect for you if you’re interested in creating tools and automation so that engineers can be as hands-off as possible. We want our service to be as autonomous as possible, and that can only be done by having bright engineers who understand how to Think Big, simplify solutions to complex unprecedented problems, all in pursuit of the best customer experience possible. Our environment is built for engineers who flourish in creating automation to reduce the operational workload rather than simply performing operational work all day.
A day in the life
On a “typical” day, System development engineers may work with operations program managers to better understand the use cases of a labeling job, verify the accuracy of labeling job configurations, write and tweak HTML/JS-based graphical user interfaces, deploy labeling jobs, write, tweak, and run pre and post processing code with Python, deliver results to the customer in the format and timeframe they have requested, and troubleshoot, optimize, and document the systems in between.
