Role summary
AWS Infrastructure Services is seeking a Software Development Engineer for the AWS Intent Driven Networking (AIDN) team. This role involves owning the full software development lifecycle for components of the AIDN platform, which manages the AWS network. The engineer will design and build secure, scalable, and reliable distributed systems, applying knowledge of networking fundamentals and distributed systems principles. Responsibilities include ensuring system correctness, safety, velocity, and managing blast radius. The role requires collaboration across teams, contributing to technical direction, and maintaining high engineering standards. The team operates at the scale of AWS global infrastructure, tackling challenging problems in a collaborative and inclusive environment.
Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer on AIDN, you own the full software development lifecycle — design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational maintenance — for components across the platform. Your components must be secure by design and meet a high bar for consistency, availability, and network safety. You bring distributed systems knowledge and networking fundamentals to every design decision, anticipating how your software behaves at scale and under degraded conditions and factoring those scenarios in from the start. You own your components independently, make sound technical trade-offs within your area, and hold your work to a high engineering standard: extensible design and well-defined interfaces. You continuously raise operational posture through the right metrics, monitoring, and alarms that give clear visibility into platform health. You provide meaningful feedback through design and code reviews, mentor less-experienced engineers, and proactively communicate progress, risks, and blockers. You collaborate across team boundaries and contribute to the team's technical direction.
