Software Development Engineer, Perimeter Protection (Network Firewall)

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain - and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

We build everything from low-level packet inspection hardware / software to customer-facing AWS services to globally distributed systems capable of mitigating the world's largest and most sophisticated cyber-attacks. Our unique technology and innovative services such as AWS Network Firewall, AWS Shield, AWS WAF and AWS Firewall Manager monitor and defend some of the largest customers and networks in the world.

We need talented Software Development Engineers like you to continue developing new capabilities for our fast-growing AWS Network Firewall service.
