Software Development Engineer, Aws Intent Driven Network

Software Development Engineer, AWS Intent Driven NetworkJob ID: 2806431 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.
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.
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 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 senior 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, thereby 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.

A day in the life: As an engineer in AIDN, you will work closely with AIDN's customers, product management team, and your immediate team to define the team roadmap, create services, and respond to our customers' needs. You will own end-to-end AIDN Services, responsibility for design, implementation, deployment, and operational maintenance. These critical services are foundational to AWS Networking and Amazon as a whole. You will collaborate with Principal Engineers as you design these services, and you will use best practices to ensure that they are secure, scalable, and reliable. At the production phase, you'll be focused on building mechanisms that improve operations for our services and customers.
About the team: Within AWS Networking, the AWS Intent Driven Network (AIDN) team creates services and tools that make it easier for Amazon to manage and grow the AWS Network. We own an array of services and tools, ranging from highly-available distributed systems, to customer-facing Command Line Interfaces (CLIs) which bring a variety of engineering problems to solve. The team is working to build and deliver a long-lasting solution for our customers that will change the way the AWS Network is managed. The team environment is collaborative and friendly. Team members support one another and experience professional growth through one-on-one mentoring from more experienced colleagues. The team seeks to maintain a high-bar through thoughtful team-wide design and code reviews with senior leaders. This team cares about individual career growth and seeks to align projects that help team members develop, so they feel empowered to take on more ambiguous and complex problems within the organization.
