Software Development Engineer, Network Capacity Services

Software Development Engineer, Network Capacity Services

Innovation is the key element to guarantee AWS success, and AWS growth drives an even faster evolution of the underlying network. Scaling the network is a formidable challenge for the systems that support it, considering the neck-breaking pace of network technology evolution and the exponential complexity driven by the size. AWS is looking for Software Development Engineers who can juggle the complexity of designing a system with complex functional and non-functional requirements, working alongside network engineers and scientists to continuously deliver value. We are looking for an innovative, highly autonomous, and customer-focused software engineer with a proven background of great judgment. In this role the engineer will be responsible for all phases of the software development cycle.

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.
