Senior Software Dev Engineer, EC2 Nitro

Do you want to shape the future of virtualized (SDN) networking in the world's biggest public cloud? The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) VPC Packet Pipeline team owns the packet pipeline that runs right beneath all our customer's EC2 VPC instances, adding features like firewalling (security groups), billing and monitoring as we touch every single packet on every single host across our massive worldwide fleet.

Our vision is to combine the performance of bare metal networking while maintaining all the benefits of the cloud, including delivering features not possible on bare metal i.e. true Software Defined Networking (SDN). We are growing fast, and are looking for kernel/embedded C leaders who can deliver ultra high performance - our goal is to be processing millions of packets per second on a CPU core.

As a Senior Software Dev Engineer, you will:

• Lead a small team, mentor junior engineers, and ensure proper development practices
• Work hands-on with architecture decisions, designs, code reviews, and implementation
• Maintain technical knowledge and explore new technologies
• Communicate with stakeholders to gather requirements and describe technical designs

The team values work-life balance and fosters an environment of knowledge sharing and mentorship. We have a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, with senior engineers dedicated to mentoring more junior engineers through one-on-one sessions and thorough code reviews.

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides foundational services like Amazon S3 and EC2, along with continuous product innovations. You'll be part of developing and managing Compute, Database, Storage, IoT, Platform, and Productivity Apps services, including specialized security solutions.
