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.

The AWS Global Connectivity and Network Availability (GCNA) Organization is
looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our Internet Edge
Engineering Team. The AWS Networking team develops and operates the global
network platform for all of Amazon, superseding a network that originally
evolved using industry-standard technologies and designs. You will collaborate
with both software and network experts, embodying best practices to create
best-in-class solutions for our customers worldwide. This is an opportunity to
build a new service utilizing AWS technologies.

As a Software Development Engineer, you will problem-solve and innovate in an
agile, sometimes ambiguous environment. You will build creative short-term and
sustainable long-term solutions with others as passionate as you about this
mission. You will use data to make decisions and validate assumptions. You will
learn from others and help grow those in your team to achieve their best.

Within AWS Networking, the Internet Edge organization is responsible for
connecting Amazon to the global Internet. With connections to thousands of
unique external networks in hundreds of locations across the world, our mission
is to deliver an internet connectivity experience that sets the global standard
for performance, availability, security, and cost, making Amazon the clear
choice for our customers. Our team provides high-performing Internet
connectivity for a wide range of use cases, such as retail (amazon.com), video
streaming (Prime Video), content delivery (CloudFront), DNS (Route53), AWS
services (i.e. EC2/S3), consumer devices (i.e. as FireTV/Kindle/Echo), and more.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted
cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —
that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies
trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
