Software Development Engineer - AWS Transit Gateway and EC2 Networking Amazon
Herndon, VA

Job Description

The AWS Transit Gateway launched at the annual AWS re:Invent conference in 2018. We are a highly visible group in the organization and have an exciting roadmap ahead of us. We are located in Herndon, VA in the Washington D.C metro area, a strategic growth location for Amazon.

AWS Transit Gateway/EC2 Networking is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to help lead the next generation of innovation in cloud based infrastructure services. The team owns the full stack for the Transit Gateway product - the front-end console and API experience, the backend provisioning and monitoring services, and the core data plane Network Function Virtualization (NFV) platform that supports the packet processing functionality.

The ideal candidate will have 10 plus years' experience, be passionate about the potential of cloud computing as well as about building resilient, scalable and high-performance distributed services. They can balance technical leadership with strong business judgment to make the right decisions about technology choices. They are comfortable in dealing with ambiguity, thinking big, and painting a bold vision for the team. They are excited to collaborate with extremely intelligent, motivated, and high-performance engineers. They have an ability to prioritize well and communicate clearly. We operate at scale and on critical workloads, so a passion and discipline around operational excellence is key. A high level of ownership and accountability is a must. We obsess over our customer, and require the candidate to share our passion in building and owning a product that delights our customers.

Amazon has a fast-paced environment where we "Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History." On a "typical" day, software engineers might whip up a prototype to prove or disprove an idea, instrument code to report a new metric, talk with customers, code up a feature, or draft a proposal for a radical new idea.
