Job description

The role is for a Software Development Engineer (SDE) on the BigMesh team at Amazon, focusing on building centralized traffic management and networking solutions. The team is responsible for enhancing the connectivity solutions for Amazon's internal services, ensuring high availability and efficiency. The position involves working with technologies such as Golang, Rust, and Java to create managed abstractions for complex service-oriented architecture (SOA) concerns. The engineer will also mentor junior team members and drive process improvements.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • 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

  • Own the full software development lifecycle for Service Mesh features, from design through implementation and testing.
  • Write high-quality, maintainable code in Golang, Rust, or Java that meets Amazon's engineering standards.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and senior engineers to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Design and build networking features used by thousands of Amazon services.
  • Mentor junior engineers through code reviews and architecture discussions.
  • Identify and drive process improvements that increase team efficiency and system reliability.
  • Participate in on-call rotation to resolve production issues and mitigate operational risks.

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.
