Want to work on next generation software services that build AWS Network And design build and own services that form the foundation of Network Configurations and Validations If weve piqued your interest read on to learn more about this opportunity.

What do we do here Amazon Web Services (AWS) runs one of the largest networks in the world. We are changing the way Networks are conceived designed built and operated by adopting the principles of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Intent Based Networking (IBN). We derive our network topologies from higher level designs and intents and a distributed software system controls the way we manage our network. We put services and algorithms in place to control and manage all layers of the Amazon network from top of the rack switches in our datacenters (TORs) to our internet and private backbone facing this software dev engineer position you will be designing building and owning highly distributed large scale web services that form a core part of our SDN software ecosystem. You will work with a team of talented developers and principal engineers to build the next generation software services in our space.

Why software services for building the network At Amazon we are always customer obsessed. By creating an intent-based scalable network we respond quickly and safely to network changes like scaling maintenance failure security and other types of events. This also lowers the cost and overhead for customers while driving up performance availability and reliability.

Why now We want to expand scope of our IBN and configuration backend systems to store and vend operational intent there by facilitating anomaly detection. We also would expand our description languages parsers and workflow engines to go beyond the mostly static configuration elements and cover dynamic and operational elements. To achieve this we need to expand our current team focusing on IBN related areas. We are looking for talented software engineers who want to get hands on experience with fully automated hyper scale data center networks cloud infrastructure large-scale software deployments algorithms distributed systems lambda-based and service oriented architectures.
