Senior Software Development Engineer, AWS Networking Data Management Systems, AWS Networking Data Management Systems

DESCRIPTION

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.

AWS has the largest network in the world, and we hold the network information for it. If this does not provide the engineering marvel and excite you enough, think of the problems of scale to solve as a software engineer (storage, search, performance, freshness), the under the hood view of the largest network for Cloud Infrastructure, and the opportunities of data analytics hidden in the network data we hold, and therefore the future systems that can be built to power AWS Network Management Systems.

As a Software Development Engineer at AWS, you are driving a wave of innovation and bringing sweeping changes to the way we manage our networks. You are developing software that allows us to build the most reliable, available and self healing network in the world. Virtualization, incredible scale, hardware commoditization, and automation are revolutionizing networking and network software. In AWS Networking, we leverage big data technologies and analytics software to run one of the largest networks in the world. We push the boundaries of robustness, fault-tolerance and smart adaptive algorithms that can react intelligently to real-world events. And with large language models (LLMs) gripping the industry by storm, this is your time to make history by building large-scale intelligent, distributed software systems.

The AWS network is composed of millions of heterogeneous network devices, all of which need to be managed in a consistent manner, abstracted away from platform-specific differences, and reduced in complexity for our customers. The Network Data Management Systems have an exciting charter to provide scalable platform services for building authoritative data services for the Amazon Network. We are the network datastore for All network devices and our team offers a set of services and APIs which work in tandem to share this authoritative view with the core services needed to run the AWS network.

Come build the future of networking at AWS.
