At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we run one of the largest networks in the world supporting the
AWS Cloud globally. In order to manage this unimaginable scale, we are driving revolutionary
changes to the way networks are conceived, designed, built and operated. We put services and
algorithms in place to control and manage all layers of the Amazon network, from top of the rack
switches (TORs) to our internet and private backbone facing routers. This software ecosystem
must be intelligent, scalable and fault tolerant. Our vision is to ultimately have self-managed
networks and our Network Lifecycle Management (NLM) organization is responsible for
building key services that will enable this vision.
We are looking for a software development manager to lead a team of engineers that would build
a set of foundational network services that form a core part of our Software Defined Networking
(SDN) ecosystem. The main focus of the team will be to design and own a closed-loop system
for the reservation of network entities associated to procurement activities. This service is vital
for closing the gap between network capacity planning and our network automation systems. It is
a crucial step towards our vision of a truly self-managed and adaptive network.
As a manager in this team, you will be leading a team of highly motivated software developers
that thrives on solving challenging problems with innovative solutions. The team bridges
network engineering and software engineering disciplines to solve real world problems. They
build large-scale distributed software systems in Java, Python and other languages using open-
source technologies like Apache, Celery, Redis, HTTP/REST services etc., and other Amazon’s
proprietary technologies.
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.
