Software Development Engineer II , Network Lifecycle Management

Software Development EngineerWant 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 we've 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 routers.

In 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.How do we operate in our team? We empower our engineers to take ownership of their realm and make a difference. They start by gathering requirements, diving deep to choose technologies, designing features and spinning new services, coding and reviewing, deploying software across the globe and maintaining services. In AWS, we are nimble and agile, like being part of a startup, innovating while collaborating with a smart group of people around you. We are thrilled about how software is changing the landscape of networking. We operate on an unimaginable scale.

We push the boundaries in robustness, fault-tolerance and smart adaptive algorithms that can react intelligently to real-world events. Software engineers on our team contribute to every phase of the development process and deploy scalable software systems worldwide.What will you be doing here?Design and develop software services for network configuration, verification and management.Work with your dev team build production quality software that meets our definition of doneParticipate in sprint demos, reviews and planning sessionsWork alongside Senior Engineers and Principals to invent and simplifyWork with management, customers and other engineering teams to develop state of the art solutions, incorporating new technologies, algorithms and innovations.Who are we looking for? Smart, talented engineers with solid, production quality, software services/applications experience.
