Join the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) VPC Dataplane team to shape the future of virtualized (SDN) networking in one of the world's biggest public clouds. Our team owns the packet pipeline that runs beneath all customer EC2 VPC instances, implementing features like firewalls, routing, billing, and monitoring across worldwide fleet in 30+ regions. We're seeking kernel/embedded C programmers to deliver ultra-high performance for EC2 customers, processing millions of packets per second on embedded CPU cores.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology in Software Defined Networking (SDN), combining bare metal networking performance with cloud benefits.
