Software Development Engineer, STRADA

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 Service Transformation and Deployment Automation team aims to remove all manual touchpoints from service operations within Amazon Web Services (AWS) Networking, one of the world’s largest and most complex networks. Software Development Engineers are instrumental in discovering innovative ways to automate and scale services. They drive stability, consistency, and sustainability of the network while never losing sight of the high security bar our customer’s demand. We own a container compute platform in the border network, network device access and locality software, and a business intelligence platform for providing insights into service maturity. This position is located in Minneapolis, USA and working in the heart of AWS global network. Millions of customers rely on Amazon’s network for using our retail websites, accessing content on their Kindles, and building applications and businesses on top of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. Our goal is to become The Infrastructure Platform for the world – achieving this goal requires automated and massively scalable software services. Success depends on our world-class network infrastructure, and our network depends on our automation. This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice. Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior engineers truly enjoy mentoring more junior engineers and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth. We try to assign projects and tasks based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
