Description
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure—the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling that keep the cloud running and ensure customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.
You will join a diverse team of software and network engineers, security experts, and operations managers, collaborating across AWS to deliver the highest standards of safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost. You’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
AWS seeks an experienced Software Development Engineer for the AWS Scalable Intent Driven Routing (SIDR) team. We are building control plane services from the ground up that shape how one of the world’s largest networks operates for the next decade.
Key Responsibilities
We empower engineers to take full ownership—from gathering requirements and choosing technologies to designing, coding, deploying globally, and maintaining services. We operate with startup‑like agility, innovating and collaborating with smart people around you. We are excited about how software is transforming networking and pushing boundaries at unimaginable scale in robustness, fault‑tolerance, and intelligent adaptive algorithms.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate brings proven expertise building and launching large‑scale distributed systems and thrives in fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environments with rapid delivery cycles. You deliver high‑quality, extensible code while mentoring junior engineers, navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and bring order to complex problems. You identify and implement optimizations for performance, scalability, and efficiency. You are data‑driven and analytical with impeccable judgment and communicate clearly—written and verbal—across organizations and senior leadership. Maturity and the ability to influence and lead are essential to success in this role.
About The Team
The SIDR team builds and manages software services that make it easier for Amazon to operate and grow the AWS Network. Our collaborative environment fosters professional growth through one‑on‑one mentoring, thoughtful design and code reviews with senior leaders, and projects aligned to individual career development—empowering team members to take on increasingly complex challenges.
