This position is for a software engineer on the AWS EC2 VPC team, which focuses on building and operating Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. The team is responsible for designing large-scale, distributed systems that deliver core AWS-EC2 services, particularly in networking.

  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards and operations
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement scalable solutions for VPC networking features including subnets and route tables
  • Build robust APIs and services that handle billions of requests daily with sub-millisecond latency requirements
  • Troubleshoot complex distributed systems issues and drive operational excellence
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver features that improve customer experience
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team technical direction

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
