Job description

Job ID: 2933562 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

As a Systems Development Engineer in the AWS Direct Connect capacity engineering team, you will work hand-in-hand with Software Development and Network Engineering teams to develop solution architectures, while also helping to automate and invent new ways of operating the Direct Connect network. You’ll apply your large-scale understanding of computing solutions to write code and manage services that delight our customers. You will practice frugality through economic decision making.

The AWS Direct Connect capacity engineering team invent solutions that makes it easy for customers to establish a dedicated network connection from their premises to the AWS cloud. These connections help to reduce network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connections. AWS Direct Connect is currently available in more than 91 locations located in 28 countries.

Key job responsibilities

You will be responsible for the design, implementation and quality of services you deliver. Your experience working in a systems development or in an enterprise environment will help us implement automated solutions across a variety of applications and systems. You’ll also:

1. Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
2. Write high quality distributed system software.
3. Work in an agile, startup-like development environment, where you are always working on the most important stuff.
4. Work closely with our Network/Systems/Software Engineering teams to ensure fast and smooth roll-out of new designs and products, as well as assist with deployment and sustaining of networking software tools.
5. Use your strong problem-solving skills, ability to understand and scope solutions, work across teams to drive solutions.
6. Contribute to documentation of process and procedures.
7. Learn from others and help grow those in your team to achieve their best.
8. Take ownership, consider tradeoffs and lean on your expertise to ensure the job gets done.
9. Participate in an on-call rotation with your team.
