About The Position

The Control Plane team owns the network control plane protocols for the switches in the Amazon network and is part of the NPD (Network Product Development) team. As a leader in this team, you will dive deep to understand Amazon's network architecture and partner with our routing protocol communities, network engineering, peer software teams and other AWS service teams to develop and operate the control plane software that powers Amazon's network device platforms. You will own the software quality and speed of delivery of all new solutions and identify opportunities to invent and simplify the systems used throughout the AWS network. We are looking for a software leader to lead a team of engineers to realize our vision of delivering and owning the world's fastest and most reliable network.

You must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment. We're looking for people who are smart and can get things done. 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.
