Software Development Engineer, Data Plane, Network Product Development

Job :  | Amazon Data Services, Inc. Aws Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

• You like to get stuff done and solve complex, impactful problems.
• AWS develops both the network and the devices, allowing us to innovate in a way that others cannot.
• Amazon’s network is global in scope and it continues to grow: most of the network runs on our switches and we continue to expand our footprint.
• Very large impact: these devices are central to  (), AWS and more AWS customers.

There are two main components to forwarding the Linux Kernel and its constructs for L2/L3 forwarding and management, and the underlying hardware. Our goal is to have the Kernel state and the hardware state mirror one another, and as such we need people that have expertise in Linux kernel and core networking expertise. Ideally you understand both how Linux manages forwarding as well as how that maps to the underlying forwarding hardware.

We are the Data Plane team and are split between Cupertino, Seattle, and Raleigh; and are looking to expand in either site. Our team owns packet forwarding in our networking devices; that is, the core functionality of a networking switch.
