Amazon is seeking a Software Development Engineer II to build and improve CloudWatch Collectors, services that gather and process monitoring data for AWS customers. The role typically requires professional software development experience, proficiency in languages such as Java, C++, or Python, and a solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and cloud technologies. Candidates should be comfortable designing, implementing, testing, and operating reliable production software. Strong problem-solving, written and verbal communication, ownership, and the ability to work effectively with other engineers and stakeholders are expected. Experience with AWS services, observability, monitoring systems, scalable backend platforms, or high-availability services would be advantageous.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Seattle. It operates online retail marketplaces, Amazon Web Services, advertising, logistics, entertainment, devices, and various digital products. AWS is one of the world's leading cloud platforms, providing computing, storage, databases, security, analytics, and monitoring services to businesses, governments, and developers. Amazon is known for its customer-focused culture, large-scale engineering challenges, and leadership principles such as ownership, innovation, and delivering results. Employees often work on highly distributed systems used by customers worldwide. In Ireland, Amazon has significant operations in Dublin, including technology, AWS, corporate, and customer-support teams, as well as offices and activities in other locations.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, finance technology, pharmaceuticals, and multinational technology companies, particularly around Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick. The culture is generally friendly, sociable, and informal, with English widely used in professional life. Ireland provides attractive access to countryside, coastlines, music, sport, and historic towns, although housing costs and availability—especially in Dublin—can be challenging. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can generally live and work without a visa. Non-EEA employees usually need an employment permit, with the Critical Skills Employment Permit often relevant to experienced software engineers, followed by residence registration. Candidates should confirm current salary thresholds, permit rules, taxation, healthcare, and housing requirements before relocating. Public transport is strongest in major cities, while a car is useful outside urban areas.
