Software Development Engineer, Intent Driven Network

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running.

We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.

You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Key job responsibilities

We empower our engineers to take ownership of their realm and make a difference. They start by gathering requirements, diving deep to choose technologies, designing features and spinning new services, coding and reviewing, deploying software across the globe and maintaining services.

In AWS, we are nimble and agile, like being part of a startup, innovating while collaborating with a smart group of people around you.

We are thrilled about how software is changing the landscape of networking. We operate on an unimaginable scale. We push the boundaries in robustness, fault-tolerance and smart adaptive algorithms that can react intelligently to real-world events.

Software engineers on our team contribute to every phase of the development process and deploy scalable software systems worldwide.

We are looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer with production quality software services experience. You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where delivery of new services and features is very rapid.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate established software engineering expertise, having successfully developed and launched extensive distributed systems in collaboration with a team.

You are adaptable, capable of excelling in a dynamic and entrepreneurial setting. You will be responsible for delivering high quality, extensible design and code.

You are expected to mentor and guide junior engineers. You are comfortable managing competing priorities and are able to bring order to ambiguous scenarios.

You identify and implement optimizations for performance, scalability, and efficiency. Maturity, impeccable judgment, and the ability to influence and lead are essential to success in this role.

You are data-driven and analytical. You have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, both in writing and verbally, across organizations, and up to senior leadership.

Previous Routing Protocols / Networking background is a plus.

About the team

You will be part of a team working on AWS Intent Driven Network. We are completely re-imagining how the AWS network is managed.

A key part of this project is building a suite of management plane services from the ground-up, which the network fabric teams will use to scale and manage the networks.

You have an opportunity to shape how one of the largest networks on the planet is going to be operated for at least the next decade.
