Senior Software Development Engineer, AWS, Network Capacity Services
DESCRIPTION
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.
Innovation is the key element to guarantee AWS success, and AWS growth drives an even faster evolution of the underlying network. Scaling the network is a formidable challenge for the systems that support it, considering the pace of network technology evolution and the exponential complexity driven by the size. AWS is looking for Software Development Engineers who can juggle the complexity of designing a system with complex functional and non-functional requirements, working alongside network engineers and scientists to continuously deliver value. We are looking for an innovative, co-operative, and customer-focused software engineer with a proven background of great judgement. In this role the engineer will be a hands-on technical lead responsible for all phases of the software development cycle. The developer will partner with internal customers to understand current challenges and generate technical designs, and will carry the project from implementation all the way through validation and operations. The engineer will need strong leadership and communication skills to mentor other engineers and collaborate with senior leaders.
AWS Core Networking is focused on building Data Centers and the network that allows Data Centers to function efficiently. They own the solutions that allow racks to be aggregated and Data Centers to be interconnected. Core Networking's goal is to balance efficiency, performance and reliability to allow customers access to their applications and data.
Come join us to design a critical system from the ground up with rare scale and potential impact. This is an opportunity central and critical to the infrastructure underlying Amazon Web Services.
