Job description

Software Development Engineer, Compute Services

Job ID: 2555584 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

Come build the next generation of Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) @ AWS! Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Networking team gives customers the ability to build secure, scalable, resilient and highly available VPCs. The domain is networking, but it’s all about software. We’re delivering software defined networks at scale. To learn more, check us out at https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/. We are re-engineering our VPC distribution plane as part of Amazon’s initiative to get EC2 performance to be as close as possible to that of on-premise bare metal.

We are looking for software development engineers that are passionate about creating application software that underpin the fabric of the EC2 cloud. We are engaged in every part of the software development lifecycle from defining new features to testing them. On a typical day, our engineers use everything from modern day programming languages like Java/Rust/etc for application development, Ruby/Python/etc for automation, MySQL/Redis/JournalDB/RocksDB/etc. for high performance, low latency backends and a host of internal to Amazon tools. We don’t expect you to be an expert in, or necessarily even be familiar with these technologies listed, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them!

In this role, you’ll build software that scales to new heights. With cloud adoption speeding up, you will be challenged with interesting and complex problems to grow our services to meet the ever-increasing customer requirements. You’ll apply your creative and critical problem-solving skills to develop and run multi-tenant services at a massive scale. Above all, you will care deeply about both delighting customers and building high-quality software without sacrificing one for the other.
