Job Information
Amazon Software Development Engineer, NAE - Network Observability in Dublin, Ireland
Description
AWS operates one of the world’s largest and most highly available networks which continues to grow rapidly in both size and complexity in response to customer demand. Many AWS customers run mission critical workloads that depend on our networks to be always on. Network Availability Engineering (NAE) is responsible for preventing, predicting, detecting and remediating impairments across our network, both physical and logical, before they cause impact to our customers. We own the software systems that consume trillions of telemetry datapoints per day from the hundreds of thousands of network devices, use various big-data techniques including ML/AI to turn the telemetry into actionable notifications when things go bad, and package them into our event management system for automated mitigation and remediation. For the less than 2% of detected issues that we haven’t yet automated, we provide a suite of expert diagnostic tools that enable our human operators to quickly determine next steps. Our vision is that any failure in the network is pre-emptively remediated before it can cause customer impact by systems that require no human intervention.
Amazon is looking for Software Development Engineers to build the software that observes one of the world’s largest and most complex networks. Tens of 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 Amazon Web Services (AWS). Our success depends on our world-class network infrastructure, and our network depends on our Network Observability team.
Key job responsibilities
You are interested in being part of a high-bar team with global responsibility for the Network Observability software used across all of Amazon’s businesses.
Solving problems at scale excites you.
You do not implement specs from analysts and architects – you talk to your customers and design solutions to their problems. You automate and innovate.
You do not push just one technology agenda – you choose the best tool for the problem at hand.
You believe that the craft of software engineering is about writing code right the first time. For you, code reviews and automated testing are not chores – they are a core part of writing great software.
You do not throw your code over the wall. You launch it, own it, support it and make it incrementally better for the benefit of your customers.
You enjoy working in a flexible, fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
