Software Development Manager, AWS Core Networking

Amazon • Seattle, WA

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Amazon Web Services (AWS) runs one of the largest networks in the world. This role involves putting services and algorithms in place to control traffic flow across different fabrics of the Amazon network, considering both static topological information and real-time network inputs. The goal is to respond quickly to network changes such as scaling, maintenance, failures, and security events to lower costs and overhead for customers, while improving performance, availability, and reliability. This is an opportunity to scale to two teams and gain experience with Software Defined Networking (SDN), hyper-scale data center networks, cloud infrastructure, large-scale software deployments, algorithms, and SOA. The team empowers individuals to take ownership, work backwards from customer needs, gather requirements, select technologies, design features, deploy software globally, and maintain services in a nimble, agile, startup-like environment. The team is passionate about software and changing the landscape of networking at an unimaginable scale, pushing boundaries in robustness, fault-tolerance, and adaptive algorithms.
