Do you want to shape the future of virtualized (SDN) networking in one of the world’s biggest public clouds?

The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) VPC Dataplane team owns the packet pipeline that runs right beneath all our customer's EC2 VPC instances, adding features like firewalls (security groups), routing, billing and monitoring as we touch every single packet on every single host across our worldwide fleet in more than 30 regions. Our vision is to combine the performance of bare metal networking while maintaining all the benefits of the cloud, including delivering features not possible on bare metal leading to true Software Defined Networking (SDN).

We continue to grow, and are looking for a SW Engineer to help build our next generation of automation. In this role, you will build and improve the end-to-end EC2 SDN feature development, validation and release cycle through tooling and automation. This will require a thorough understanding of AWS networking components, back-end software development using a variety of AWS services, as well as interest in systems software engineering such as kernel or embedded software development. This is a unique opportunity to join us in building the platform which is the basis for all new EC2 VPC features in the years to come.

You will also have the opportunity to impact and influence a wide range of teams across EC2 by developing frameworks used in validation of end-customer workloads on both production and pre-production environments.
