Software Development Engineer, Network Platform Development
Job ID: 2697726 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.
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 data center operations — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
Do you love deconstructing problems to develop products that impact millions of people around the world? Would you enjoy identifying, defining, and building software solutions that revolutionize how businesses operate?
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.
Amazon Web Services Network Product Development team is responsible for the development, availability and lifecycle management of AWS Networking platforms. We are looking for Software Development Engineers to join a diverse group of software, network, and hardware engineers to design, deliver and operate our networking platforms for our data centers. The Software Developer on our team is responsible for re-defining the way we think about networking and infrastructure to enable our internal and external customers to continue to scale without limit on the largest, most reliable global infrastructure.
We are looking for an innovative, self-motivated Software Developer with a proven background in networking, hardware and test automation infrastructure. In this role the Software Engineer will be a hands-on technical lead responsible for all phases of the project development cycle. You will work with customers to gather requirements and generate technical designs, and you will carry the project from implementation all the way through validation and operations. Come join us if you want to test your limits and tackle technical challenges you won't see anywhere else.
Key job responsibilities
Our engineers collaborate across diverse teams, projects, and environments to have a firsthand impact on our global customer base. You’ll bring a passion for innovation, data, quality, analytics and distributed systems. You’ll also:
- Solve challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
- Design, implement, test, deploy and operate innovative and secure software solutions in the field of networking systems.
- Build high-quality, highly available, always-on products.
- Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.
A day in the life
Software engineers within NPD could be working in a variety of areas from building the systems that do lab management, DevOps, manufacturing test, reliability, device monitoring and remediations using anomaly detection, to the control plane (which determines where traffic should be forwarded), to platform and operating system work on drivers and the Linux OS/Kernel, to the very domain specific expertise of the data plane (which manages the hardware that does that actual packet forwarding). We cover everything from embedded software to web development. Operating at the scale we do, there is no blueprint for how to do what we do, which encourages our engineers to identify and develop simple solutions to complex problems. We encourage durable solutions that look around corners while taking into consideration our customer needs from a cost, performance, and reliability perspective. We work closely with our internal partners that design, build and operate the network to ensure that our solutions meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
About the team
Within AWS Networking the NPD (Network Product Development) organization is responsible for designing the hardware, building the software, and owning the interconnects for the networking devices that power the global AWS network. Beyond product delivery we actively manage the fleet of switches and routers in a network that keeps growing. This means tracking key business and operational metrics to ensure that we operate smoothly and minimize or eliminate customer impact due to device related issues for a transparent AWS customer experience.
