Software Development Engineer, Data Plane, Network Product Development

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.

Amazon Web Services is looking for Software Development Engineers to develop

state of the art Linux based networking platforms. You will join a team of

engineers developing embedded routing platforms that enable one of the world's

largest and complex networks.

We are seeking engineers with a demonstrated track record of designing and

implementing Linux-based solutions on embedded devices, ideally for networking

products. We want people who are passionate about changing the way data center

networking is done.

Plenty of complexity and scope for your next challenge! Why would you want to

work on network devices for Amazon?

Key job responsibilities

You like to get stuff done and solve complex, impactful problems.

AWS develops both the network and the devices, allowing us to innovate in a way

that others cannot.

Amazon’s network is global in scope and it continues to grow: most of the

network runs on our switches and we continue to expand our footprint.

Very large impact: these devices are central to Amazon.com (http://amazon.com/),

AWS and more AWS customers.

A day in the life

There are two main components to forwarding the Linux Kernel and it’s constructs

for L2/L3 forwarding and management, and the underlying hardware.

Our goal is to have the Kernel state and the hardware state mirror one another,

and as such we need people that have expertise in Linux kernel and core

networking expertise. Ideally you understand both how Linux manages forwarding

as well as how that maps to the underlying forwarding hardware.

About the team

We are the Data Plane team and are split between Cupertino, Seattle, and

Raleigh; and are looking to expand in either site. Our team owns packet

forwarding in our networking devices; that is, the core functionality of a

networking switch.

Why AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted

cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —

that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies

trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Diverse Experiences

Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred

qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates

to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path,

or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

Work/Life Balance

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the

expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of

our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home,

there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led

affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our

differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our

Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity)

conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Mentorship and Career Growth

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s

Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and

other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded

professional.
