Senior Network Software Engineer
DESCRIPTION
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Join Annapurna Labs’ SW group and take a major part in redefining the future of AWS cloud. We’re searching for engineers with a passion for computer networks to lead the next level of the transport protocol SRD (Scalable Reliable Datagram) [1]. SRD is at the core of multiple high impact and cutting edge products such as on-demand super computers [2,3], next generation storage services [4], and the future of AWS traffic. Make a difference on a very large scale by taking part in all of the protocol’s life cycle stages from gathering requirements, idea conception through design, implementation, simulation and deployment to the largest public cloud on the planet.

Key job responsibilities
As a Senior Network Software Engineer on SRD team, your primary role will be to develop and optimize the implementation of SRD technology across AWS's network infrastructure. Your responsibilities will encompass designing, deploying, and maintaining SRD code-base, ensuring its reliability and scalability to accommodate the demands of various applications. An essential part of your role will involve conducting extensive network simulations to evaluate system performance under different conditions, enabling you to identify potential bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Using these simulations, you will troubleshoot network issues and implement robust solutions, leading to minimal data loss and latency. Leveraging your in-depth understanding of network protocols and AWS infrastructure, you'll refine and improve the SRD system's performance. Furthermore, you will be expected to mentor junior team members, leading projects to advance the SRD capabilities within the AWS environment. Staying updated with the latest industry trends and incorporating them into strategic network service planning.
