Amazon Software Development Engineer, Capacity Delivery Systems in Dublin, Ireland
Description
Amazon’s network is a key differentiator for Amazon Cloud Computing and Web Services (AWS), enabling the global operation of thousands of applications across millions of servers worldwide. The AWS Networking team develops and operates the network platform for all of Amazon including e-commerce products and cloud computing solutions. This platform is industry-leading for its efficiency, throughput and reliability, and it is critical to the success of hundreds of thousands of AWS customers.
The ideal candidate will be clearly passionate about the large opportunity for software innovation that Amazon’s network presents and about web services in general. This person has thrived and succeeded in delivering high quality solutions in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift fast. If you're looking to solve challenging technical problems and create great products that protect and enhance customer availability, then we would like to talk to you.
At Capacity Delivery Services we are responsible for deploying network capacity in an unconstrained, redundant, and timely way.
We are intensively focused in building mechanisms and automation to enable our operations to Zero Touch (ZT) scale our network across all the core networking space.
We have developed and maintain a wide gamut of tools to help scaling our network seamlessly and automatically. We are now facing the next challenge: providing a software ecosystem capable of amalgamating all tools, operations, procedures in a single manageable, scalable, automated entity.
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. 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.
