About The Position

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 Software Development Engineer at AWS, you are driving a wave of innovation
and bringing sweeping changes to the way we manage our networks. You are
developing software that allows us to build the most reliable, available and
self healing network in the world. On a daily basis you work closely with your
teammates and surrounding teams to bring adaptive and creative solutions to
operational and business goals. At AWS, we are pushing the boundaries of what we
can achieve every day, and we are a highly motivated and collaborative team of
engineers who thrive on solving challenging problems.

Virtualization, incredible scale, hardware commoditization, and automation are
revolutionizing networking and network software. In AWS Networking, we leverage
big data technologies and analytics software to run one of the largest networks
in the world. We push the boundaries of robustness, fault-tolerance and smart
adaptive algorithms that can react intelligently to real-world events. This is
your time to make history by building large-scale distributed software systems.

The AWS network is composed of millions of heterogeneous network devices, all of
which need to be managed in a consistent manner, abstracted away from
platform-specific differences, and reduced in complexity for our customers. The
Network State Manager (NSM) Core Platform team has an exciting charter to
provide scalable platform services for building authoritative data services for
the Amazon Network. The NSM team is also responsible for designing and scaling
search services across AWS network devices, interfaces and links. We are the
primary source of network state data and our team offers a set of services and
APIs which work in tandem to share this authoritative view with the core
services needed to run the AWS network.

Do you believe that good systems design is about looking around corners and
designing to scale? Are you passionate about using technology to solve problems
that have a huge impact?

Come build the future of networking at AWS.
