Are you ready to build software and systems that power one of the largest cloud providers in the world? Amazon Web Services runs on a world-class network and server infrastructure, handling massive scale and the rapid integration of emerging technologies. The AWS Core Networking Organization is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to join our Network Product Development (NPD) org.
As a Senior SDE on the Release Engineering team, you’ll build and scale the software systems that continuously integrate, test, release, and monitor the networking products that form the building blocks of Amazon’s cloud infrastructure. You’ll build software that deploys new operating system versions across Amazon’s device fleet, detects anomalies through device telemetry, and applies statistical and machine learning models over large datasets to identify operating-system-induced network anomalies. You’ll design the CI/CD pipelines, automation frameworks, data-intensive test infrastructure, and observability platforms that let thousands of engineers ship safely and predictably — removing human touchpoints from the release path. As a senior engineer, you’ll own the design and delivery of large, ambiguous systems end to end, set technical direction across multiple projects, and raise the bar for design and code quality across the team. You work hand-in-hand with Network Engineering, Operating System software teams, and Developer Experience teams to build large-scale distributed services on AWS. You’ll strive for simplicity, demonstrate significant creativity and high judgment, and mentor other engineers. You have expertise that is both deep and broad; you’re hands-on, producing both detailed technical work and high-level software and test/automation architecture.
You will solve complex and ambiguous problems, efficiently and with high quality. You will play a pivotal role in shaping the definition, vision, design, roadmap, development, and operationalization of the systems your customers depend on. You’ll be given an outcome and the freedom to set the direction based on data-driven decisions. You’ll also:
The Release Engineering team leads critical initiatives that power AWS’s network infrastructure deployment and reliability. We develop intelligent automation systems that seamlessly deploy operating systems, configurations, firmware, and features across AWS’s global datacenter network. Our data-intensive anomaly detection and automated triage capabilities help safeguard network stability by proactively identifying and containing potential issues. As a cornerstone of AWS’s networking infrastructure, we collaborate across organizational boundaries to build resilient, scalable solutions that enhance deployment reliability while reducing production defects. We build CI/CD pipelines and automated services that operate a large-scale network. We scale existing test solutions and build new services and systems that validate our networking products, and we develop software that removes human touchpoints so networking software and hardware continuously integrate, test, and deploy. We own the scale, stability, reliability, and performance of the software services that qualify the products that form the building blocks of Amazon’s cloud infrastructure. We want people who are passionate about changing the way networking validation and automation is done. We have one of the largest networks in the world, and we don’t stop growing.
