Job description

Amazon is looking for a Software Development Engineer to join the AWS Networking organization. This role involves designing and developing software and services for configuring and automating networking devices. The successful candidate will work closely with various engineering teams to ensure scalable designs and maintain customer focus. The position offers an opportunity to work on complex problems within a diverse team while contributing to the continuous operation of AWS global infrastructure.

Requirements

  • Experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers.
  • Experience designing or architecting new and existing systems with a focus on reliability and scaling.
  • Experience with the full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, and testing.
  • Proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Java, C++, or C#.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.

Responsibilities

  • Operate autonomously and deliver projects that have scope at the team or cross-team level.
  • Drive designs for components and services that deliver new features and capabilities.
  • Prepare estimates for upcoming deliverables and document proposed solutions.
  • Review code of other team members and write well-structured and optimized code.
  • Perform root cause analysis on operational events and provide project updates to leadership.

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.
