Heavy on-call load

Amazon Bizos Jun 24, 2020

Tier 1 severity service = better be 5 mins away from laptop when oncall Is it really Tier1 from internal severity persective or just tier 1 from use case perspective? People usually throw tier 1 term in different context outside Amazon

I'm being interviewed for a tier-1 service team. Hence I wanted to know direct from someone working @amazon. Thanks for your reply.

There are 2 different teams, Payments and Digital Payments. Digital Payments is the interface to the Payments team. Payments team will have more operational load because it handles retail, marketplace and digital payments.
