System Development Engineer - AWS Networking System Test
DESCRIPTION
Are you ready to create systems to power one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world? Amazon.com has over 90 million customers, and developers all over the world rely on our storage, compute, and virtualized services via Amazon Web Services. Our success depends on our world-class network and server infrastructure; we’re handling massive scale and rapid integration of emerging technologies. We’re looking for a System Development Engineer Test role within System Test to develop & test solutions for networking products that form the building blocks of Amazon's Cloud Infrastructure.
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.
As a System Development Engineer in Networking, you’ll have a unique opportunity to shape the development of our network. The Amazon network is a fundamental contributor to the success of Amazon Web Services. It enables us to continue to scale the existing services, and to enable new services. You’ll be working to relentlessly improve the stability of the existing network and to develop test automation for new hardware and software platforms into the network. You will work closely with our Network Engineering teams to understand features and technical implementation, and to develop test plans and test suites that approximate real-world environments.
The ideal candidate has spent some time in a similar role. Experience with industry leading automation and CI/CD tools , Ixia Traffic Generators or similar will be a distinct advantage. You’ll strive for simplicity, and demonstrate significant creativity and high judgment. You have expertise which is both deep and broad; you’re hands on, producing both detailed technical work and high-level test architecture.
