Job description

Job ID: 2911545 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Do you want to shape the future of virtualized (SDN) networking in one of the world’s biggest public clouds?

The EC2 Instance Networking VPC team develops the foundational data plane primitives that powers the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for EC2 instances which allows customers to leverage VPC on a wide range of workloads from general purpose to specialized machine learning and latency sensitive applications.

We are growing fast, and we are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to drive our vision of making EC2 VPC the most trusted, secure, and reliable networking environment on the planet. You will join a team that develops core underlying network virtualization primitives that powers AWS products such as Transit Gateways, Network Load Balancers, and Outpost connectivity. In partnership with EC2 Product Management, Principal and Senior SDEs you will be responsible for building and operating high-performance embedded systems written in Rust/C/C++ to process packets at scale. The role offers opportunities to impact all of our customers, including internal ones like AWS EC2, S3, and DynamoDB, as we frequently deploy new capabilities and updates. With access to Principal and Senior Principal leaders across AWS, there is significant potential for professional growth to help shape the future of cloud computing infrastructure.

Key job responsibilities:

1. Design, develop, implement, test, document and deliver large-scale, multi-tiered, distributed software applications, tools, systems and services using object-oriented programming, distributed or embedded programming, and related technologies.
2. Scope, design, and deliver software features and improvements to major portions of the team's software, including refactoring and deprecation work.
3. Mentor other engineers on the team, training them on the software's construction, operation, and how it fits into the bigger picture. Perform reviews of design and code of other engineers.
4. Effectively make priority tradeoffs between new feature development and operational work, resolving disagreements through constructive dialogue.
5. Identify and execute on opportunities to improve the team's software quality, customer experience, and maintainability, balancing customer and team requirements.
6. Stay up with the latest technical knowledge in the field, and always be on the lookout for new technologies and opportunities.
