What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Development Engineer, Network Platform position at Amazon?
DESCRIPTION
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 and we’re looking for talented people who want to help. You’ll join a diverse team of applied scientists, software engineers, and security experts. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for security and safety while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. You’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we provide world-class, flexible, scalable, and secure cloud services to the world’s fastest growing startups, the largest enterprises, and leading government agencies. We do this by building, maintaining, and securing one of the largest, most complex infrastructures in the world. Within AWS, the Infrastructure Security – Access organization comprises multiple teams responsible for identity and access management as it applies to the global AWS infrastructure. This includes, but it is not limited to, the control and data plane for every network segment, boundary, layer and fabric owned by Amazon.
We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to join our growing team. You will partner with other software, network, and security engineers, scientists, and leaders to elevate our software automation and customer tools. You will raise the bar by developing innovative solutions to cyber security problems. You will be responsible for building, maintaining, and scaling the software solutions that prevent, detect and alert engineers to findings related to network security and automation.
Key job responsibilities
Our team of software developers own front end and back end services which meet the evolving needs of AWS networking, security, and service teams. We have an enduring charter to continuously protect the infrastructure with the latest technology and frameworks available. We ensure the continued security of devices and boundaries. As we update software and build new services, we are thoughtful to reduce potential impact to the smallest possible footprint.
Successful candidates are passionate about developing solutions our customers love. They understand and embrace the responsibility of delivering high standard software and securing a network at our scale. They are self-motivated individuals, and consummate team players. They seek ample opportunity for learning, and growth. They enjoy problem solving in an environment that is complex, and perpetually improving.
If you have a passion for architecting and building micro-services, for information security, networking, or automation, if you leave things better than you found them, and care deeply about delighting customers with intuitive and performant tools - we'd love to talk to you!
A day in the life
You will own services end-to-end: from ideation through development to operation. This begins with gathering customer feedback and a comprehensive understanding of the problem to solve. You will write and review technical designs. You will build services that are highly available, secure, performant, and scalable. Feature delivery is iterative in order to deliver incremental value. You will prioritize as needed to balance supporting your personal life, professional growth, key stakeholders, your teammates, and the delivery of your assigned projects. You will help drive the code and team towards high standards and best practices. Your leadership team and peers will support your ideas so you will give and receive feedback freely.
You are sensitive to customer needs and interested in working on services that will be used, directly and indirectly, by internal customers. Your work has meaningful impact to their functions and interactions. You understand the importance of operational excellence, including bug fixes and monitoring.
