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.
The AWS Global Connectivity and Network Availability (GCNA) Organization is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to join our Internet Edge Engineering Team. The AWS Networking team develops and operates the global network platform for all of Amazon, superseding a network that originally evolved using industry-standard technologies and designs. You will collaborate with both software and network experts, embodying best practices to create best-in-class solutions for our customers worldwide. This is an opportunity to build a new service utilizing AWS technologies.
Key job responsibilities
- Develop software systems and successfully deliver them to customers, particularly software-based packet processing engines
- Leverage strong knowledge in data path optimization, data structures, algorithms, problem solving, and complexity analysis to implement software features and functionality
- Use best practices to execute across the full development lifecycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, test automation, and operations
- Communicate with other technical teams and management to collect requirements, describe software functionality, and build technical designs
A day in the life
As a Software Development Engineer, you will problem-solve and innovate in an agile, sometimes ambiguous environment. You will build creative short-term and sustainable long-term solutions with others as passionate as you about this mission. You will use data to make decisions and validate assumptions. You will learn from others and help grow those in your team to achieve their best.
About the team
