DESCRIPTION

Job summary
Amazon Web Services is looking for Software Development Engineers to develop state of the art Linux based networking platforms. You will join a team of engineers developing embedded routing platforms that enable one of the world's largest and complex networks.

We are the Data Plane team and are split between Cupertino and Seattle and are looking to expand in either site. Our team owns packet forwarding in our networking devices; that is, the core functionality of a networking switch.

We are seeking engineers with a demonstrated track record of designing and implementing Linux-based solutions on embedded devices, ideally for networking products. We want people who are passionate about changing the way data center networking is done. Our challenge is scale - we have to support multiple generations of multiple vendors hardware while simultaneously supporting network functionality for numerous network roles all the while keeping our solutions simple. This provides the opportunity to solve challenging and complex problems, sometimes tied to the hardware, sometimes determining how to abstract our functionality out from the underlying hardware, or the right balance if it is not possible to completely abstract it away. Plenty of complexity and scope for the next challenge!

Why would you want to work on network devices for Amazon?

You like to get stuff done and solve complex, impactful problems.
AWS develops both the network and the devices, allowing us to innovate in a way that others cannot.
Amazon's network is global in scope and it continues to grow: most of the network runs on our switches and we continue to expand our footprint.
Very large impact: these devices are central to Amazon.com (, AWS and more AWS customers.
