This role is part of the AWS Internet Edge team, focusing on developing a software-based packet processor for Amazon's global network. The team is responsible for ensuring optimal traffic management and enhancing network performance and availability. You will collaborate with software and network experts to create innovative solutions that meet customer needs. This position offers the opportunity to work on one of the world's largest networks, delivering terabits of traffic daily.

Requirements

  • Experience leading the design, automation, deployment, and support of large-scale infrastructure.

  • Experience with Linux/Unix operating systems.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and build processes.
  • Experience with distributed systems at scale.
  • 5+ years of systems design, software development, operations, automation, and process improvement experience.
  • Bachelor's degree.

Responsibilities

  • Develop software systems and successfully deliver them to customers, particularly software-based packet processing engines.
  • Leverage strong knowledge in operating systems, data path optimization, algorithms, and problem solving to implement system features and functionality.
  • Use best practices to execute across the full development lifecycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, test automation, and operations.
  • Communicate with other technical teams and management to collect requirements, describe software functionality, and build technical designs.
  • Collect metrics and telemetry data to characterize the performance of our platform.
  • Write up a design proposal of a new feature for collaborative review.

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.
