The AWS Core Networking Organization is looking for a Software Development
Engineer to join our Network Product Development (NPD) org. The Engineer will
work hand-in-hand with Software Development and Network Engineering teams to
automate and invent new ways of operating Amazon's network. This role will
interact with customers, leadership and senior peers. This role will develop
best practices, improve operational procedures, use a proactive mindset, deliver
iterative impact for customers and help drive this same culture across the team.

AWS Core Networking team is focused on building Data Centers and the network

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.
If you are interested in designing and supporting enterprise-scale
infrastructure, we'd love for you to apply! Come join us if you want to test
your limits and tackle technical challenges that you won't see anywhere else.

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 org of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply
chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, applied scientist 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.

You will solve complex and ambiguous problems, efficiently and with
high-quality. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the definition, vision,
design, roadmap, development, and operationalization of customer-facing
services. You will be given an outcome and the freedom to set the direction
based on data driven decisions. You will be part of a startup with the backing
of a large company.

In this role, you'll contribute to critical and highly-visible function within
the AWS business. You will work alongside other talented builders, and across
multiple teams. You have the opportunity to hire and shape the team to continue
to outperform expectations. You will have a large impact on AWS and the cloud
computing industry.

You will be a hands-on technical contributor. You will work with customers to
gather requirements and generate technical designs, and you will carry the
project through all the software lifecycle stages. You’ll develop products that
enable builders to develop and operate robust, high-quality software and safely,
securely, and reliably deploy it. You will use your strong leadership and
communication skills to mentor other engineers and provide training and support
for our technologies. You will have access to senior leadership and engineering
staff.

The FAROS (Fleet Automation and Release Orchestration Services) team leads
critical initiatives that power AWS's network infrastructure deployment and
reliability. We develop intelligent automation systems that seamlessly deploy
operating systems, configurations, firmware and features across AWS's global
