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.

What do we do here? Amazon Web Services (AWS) runs one of the largest networks
in the world. We are putting services and algorithms in place to control the
traffic flow across the different fabrics of the Amazon network, taking the
static and real-time network state into account.

Why now? As we expand the reach of our algorithms, we need to scale and grow our
team. We are looking for talented software engineer that want to get hands on
experience with Software Defined Networking (SDN), hyper scale data center
networks, cloud infrastructure, large-scale software deployments, algorithms and
SOA.

How do we operate in our team? We empower our engineers to take ownership of
their realm and make a difference. They start by gathering requirements, diving
deep to choose technologies, designing features and spinning new services,
coding and reviewing, deploying software across the globe and maintaining
services. In AWS, we are nimble and agile, like being part of a startup,
innovating while collaborating with smart group of people around you. We are
thrilled about software and we are changing the landscape of networking. We
operate on an unimaginable scale. We push the boundaries in robustness,
fault-tolerance and smart adaptive algorithms that can react intelligently to
real-world events. Software engineers on our team contribute to every phase of
the development process and deploy scalable software systems worldwide.

Who are we? We are a highly motivated team of software developers who thrive on
solving challenging problems and building large-scale distributed software
systems.

Who are we looking for? Smart, talented engineers. Having networking background
up front is not required. Join us if you like working hard, having fun and
making history. We do just that.
