Description
The Team: Amazon is working on several initiatives in AWS application services including the Just Walk Out technology used in retail stores. This role will focus on development of Linux based Operating System primarily for networking products that will support these initiatives.
The Role: Everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats and work in a highly collaborative environment that’s more startup than big company. A wave of innovation is bringing sweeping changes to networking technology. Virtualization, unimaginable scale, hardware commoditization, and intelligent tooling are revolutionizing network software. We develop software at every level of the stack from front-end user interfaces to low-level kernel development and everything in between. You will work with a variety of core languages and technologies including C, C++, Python, Linux Kernel, device driver development and Networking L2/L3 protocols.
Key job responsibilities
In this role you’ll have the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a game-changing initiative. While you’ll be able to use existing Amazon systems when possible, you’ll be working on challenging problems that need creative solutions. You should be comfortable building prototypes, challenging assumptions, and thinking of creative ways to tackle challenges. The role of embedded software developer is primarily to design and implement software, including low-level driver software and user space applications. The team will work closely with other development teams that work on cloud applications and network orchestration, and will require to engage in design and code reviews from time to time. Some of the projects are heavy on open source engagement, which presents a good learning opportunity through participation.
A day in the life
As a Software Development Engineer, you will help solve a variety of technical challenges and mentor other engineers. You will play an active role in translating business and functional requirements into concrete deliverables and build quick prototypes or proofs of concept in partnership with other technology leaders within the team. You will help invent new features, design, develop and deploy highly scalable and reliable distributed services. You will work with a variety of core languages and technologies including C, C++, Python, Linux Kernel, device driver development and Networking L2/L3 protocols. Networking platform and silicon expertise is a plus.
You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and given the size of this initiative, you’ll have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations. You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that’s higher than most projects and relish the idea of solving problems that, frankly, haven’t been solved at scale before - anywhere. Along the way, we guarantee that you’ll learn a ton, have fun and make a positive impact on millions of people.
