Description

Come work for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts; a highly recognized hybrid cloud offering from AWS. AWS Outposts is an on-premises version of AWS public cloud.

Our team is responsible for managing the network route that enables communication between Outpost and its associated AWS Region, performing several transformations and validations on the packets both to and from the AWS Region, setting up and managing network configuration, pushing the network configurations to other Outpost services, packet inspections, and the logical interconnect virtual router that enables communication between Outpost and customer on-premise network.

We are a start-up like team within a big enterprise. This allows us to take risk and experiment, allow team members to flex their technical muscles and grow in their respective careers, and an unique opportunity to be part of the product's growth story. Are you interested in building and managing systems in scale, interested in software defined networking, low-level programming, and building high performant applications with limited resources? If so, come join us as a Software Development Engineer.

This position involves on-call responsibilities typically for two weeks every 2-3 months. The first week is primary and the second week is secondary on-call. We don't like to get paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause to prevent pages for the same issues twice.

We believe good code reviews raise our code quality, grow our technical acumen and provide opportunities to support and share knowledge within the team. We are responsible for supporting our own code in production and we take our code reviews seriously and ship code every day.
