CASY-MSCCN Jobs

Description

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.

Key job responsibilities

Your responsibilities will include:

Being an engineer on a small team, mentoring junior engineers, ensuring the right development practices are followed.

Being very hands-on; working with an engineering team to manage the day-to-day development activities by leading architecture decisions, participating in design reviews, code reviews, and implementation.

Maintaining current technical knowledge to support a rapidly changing technology stack, always being on the look out for new technologies and working with management and development teams in exploring new technologies.

Communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior management to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategy.

A day in the life

Our team puts a high value on work-life harmony. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here.
