Software Development Engineer, Network Product Development

About the role

Do you like building software systems that power the world's largest cloud network? Would you like to play a key role in developing the tools, automation, and data infrastructure that keep AWS network interconnects running at peak performance?

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The Core Networking team is looking for a Software Development Engineer II to join our Network Product Development (NPD) Interconnects Tools and Metrics (TMX) organization. In this role, you will design, develop, and operate the software systems that enable the NPD Interconnects team to monitor, qualify, and manage interconnect products across the AWS fleet. You will build and maintain tooling, automation, and data infrastructure across test infrastructure, observability and analytics, distributed systems for link operations, and ML model delivery. This role requires strong software engineering skills, the ability to navigate ambiguity across multiple technical domains, and a passion for building scalable, reliable systems that directly impact network availability for AWS customers.
