Software Development Engineer, Amazon

Description

Are you looking to work on the coolest technology while growing your career, in a group that cares about people just as much as products?

Amazon Traffic Engineering builds innovative managed compute and networking solutions that empower Amazon Software Engineers to build and operate services for Amazon’s customers that are secure, highly available, and easy to scale. We identify and support the foundational infrastructure capabilities, tools, and datasets needed to support rapid global expansion of Amazons SOA infrastructure, built on top of AWS technologies. Our team focuses on robust and scalable architecture patterns and engineering best practices, driving adoption of ever-evolving and cutting-edge AWS technologies.

As a Software Development Engineer, you will be working on an in-house Service Mesh for centralized traffic management and SOA policy implementation at Amazon, focusing on features like security, authentication, authorization, load balancing, throttling, routing, and more. Your products will continuously improve KPIs (availability, efficiency, productivity) on behalf of service owners by managing SOA concerns, providing automation, tooling, and higher-level abstractions.

Our vision is to make Amazon’s Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) more manageable and developers more productive by building an ecosystem of managed abstractions that allow Amazon Retail developers to focus on their unique business logic and business operations, knowing that security, authentication, authorization, load balancing, throttling and routing “just work” and are always consistent with Amazon best practices.

If you are interested in programming in Golang and Java, empowering thousands of Amazon most critical business processes with Service Mesh features, then this job is for you. If you do not know Golang, our training and on-boarding support will help you pick it up.

Come help us create and evolve the abstractions that make developing software at Amazon even more powerful and flexible!
