Job description

Software Development Engineer II, GCNA Network Availability Engineer

AWS operates one of the world’s largest and most highly available networks which continues to grow rapidly in both size and complexity in response to customer demand. Many AWS customers run mission critical workloads that depend on our networks to be always on.

Network Availability Engineering (NAE) is responsible for preventing, predicting, detecting and remediating impairments across our network, both physical and logical, before they cause impact to our customers.

Join a software development team responsible for Active Monitoring of Amazon's global network. Active Monitoring generates synthetic traffic to simulate customer traffic in order to detect and triangulate the source of faults throughout the network. Active Monitoring systems are a critical component in ensuring the availability of Amazon's global Network.

Here are some reasons you should come work with us:

1. You will get the opportunity to work closely with a great team
2. You will handle the complete product and software development lifecycle with your team: defining, prioritizing, designing, building, and testing new features
3. You will understand what it takes to grow and operate a global business at our scale.

Key job responsibilities:

1. You are interested in being part of a high-bar team with global responsibility for the Network Observability software used across all of Amazon’s businesses.
2. Solving problems at scale excites you.
3. You do not implement specs from analysts and architects – you talk to your customers and design solutions to their problems. You automate and innovate.
4. You do not push just one technology agenda – you choose the best tool for the problem at hand.
5. You believe that the craft of software engineering is about writing code right the first time. For you, code reviews and automated testing are not chores – they are a core part of writing great software.
6. You do not throw your code over the wall. You launch it, own it, support it and make it incrementally better for the benefit of your customers.
7. You enjoy working in a flexible, fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
