Software Development Engineer II (Level 5)

Nov 2022Dec 2025 · 3 yrs 1 mo · Dublin, Ireland

  • As an SDE-II at AWS CloudWatch, I own CloudWatch GetMetricData (powering CloudWatch Alarms, MetricStreams, and other AWS services, as well as integrations with partners like Datadog, NewRelic, and Splunk) and Dashboards APIs, which are critical for system reliability and troubleshooting across AWS. GetMetricData handles 1M+ requests per second from internal and external customers and is especially vital during outages, delivering metrics that enable rapid detection and resolution of issues.
  • Delivered cross-account, cross-region metric access in GetMetricData, now handling 10M+ cross-account, cross-region requests.
  • Improved availability of the latest 3 hours of metrics by root-causing and fixing a bug that had caused 1M+ customer-facing faults in the past 6 months.
  • Onboarded GetMetricData and GetMetricWidgetImage APIs to CloudTrail, delivering audit trails at 1.2M+ TPS.
  • Migrated infrastructure to AWS CDK, saving 2–3 engineering days per month and aligning with IaC best practices.
  • Cut application logs costs by 99% by eliminating redundant logs, adding compression, and introducing custom metrics.
  • Introduced metric-name–based filtering in MetricStreams, reducing ingestion costs for customers by 30% and enabling fine-grained control.
  • Implemented tag-based access control for CloudWatch Dashboards, enabling policy-based access control for AWS customers.
  • Drove agile ceremonies, guided roadmap planning, and mentored new engineers to accelerate team onboarding and effectiveness.
  • Working with cutting edge GenAI features / tools
