You will work in a hybrid team of software, systems development, and network engineers to enhance software-defined networks. The team values mentorship and career growth, fostering an inclusive culture that encourages knowledge sharing. This position involves on-call responsibilities and requires a commitment to delivering high-quality services.

  • 2+ years of design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
  • Write high quality distributed system software.
  • Work closely with Network, Systems, and Software Engineering teams to ensure fast and smooth roll-out of new designs and products.
  • Use data to measure success and take responsibility for the quality of your service.
  • Contribute to documentation of process and procedures.

  • 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.
