Job description

The AWS Networking organization is hiring, and we’re looking for talented Software Development Engineers (SDE) to join our team. Within Networking, we’re confronting and solving complex and high-stake challenges. Our teams support the design of connectivity between the hundreds of AWS locations and thousands of services. As a member of the Backbone Engineering team, you will play a part in designing and architecting software feeding Network Engineers with critical information to predict network behavior in any situation and build logical and physical solutions that will meet Amazon's customer obsession.

This position is part of the Backbone organization where the team is responsible for the modeling and validation of changes in our network topology as well as planning its deployment, encoding, and enforcing its business intent. Engineers on this team collaborate with various team profiles to ensure the scalability of our network and the safety of our design deployment. They make day-to-day and strategic decisions that carry a huge amount of responsibility and impact.

We strive to have a collaborative environment that impacts products and software across the company. We use AWS technologies like: DynamoDB, SWF, S3, EC2, API Gateway, Lambda, ELB, RDS, and Athena. We are one of the many teams ensuring Amazon's network maintains 100% uptime. We use languages such as Python and Rust. Our work has a direct impact on internal and external customers.

Key job responsibilities:

1. Engineers will build software that will allow AWS to understand, build and improve the reliability of the AWS network.
2. Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
3. Write high-quality distributed system software.
4. Enjoy seeing the impact of your work on customers.
5. Work in an agile, startup-like development environment, where you are always working on the most important stuff.
6. Take ownership of the software and its business outcome for the customer and do what it takes to get the job done.
7. Dive deep with your peers, partners, and customers as we navigate through the unknown for all our initiatives at this scale.

About the team:
We are a group of engineers that value diverse perspectives, collaborate freely, and believe we should help each other succeed (and fail) as a team. As a member of our team, you will have opportunities to stretch your skills, whether that means resolving deep algorithmic knots in our backend services or designing a better user experience for our technical users.

Minimum Qualifications:

1. 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
2. 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability, and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.
3. Experience programming with at least one software programming language.
4. Experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers.
5. 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience.
