Job Information
Amazon Software Development Engineer, Network Telemetry Engineering in Dublin, Ireland
Description
Amazon's network is growing at an unprecedented pace. Availability of the network for our customers is absolutely critical, and this requires that we drive changes within the network quickly and safely via automation. Keeping pace with the network growth demands that scaling activities – from provisioning, cabling, validation, and integration into the network – require little human involvement.
To drive network change quickly, safely, and effortlessly, we view the network as software and network change as continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) of software updates into the network. We are developing the AWS network CI that enables humans to describe the intent of network design and a workflow that integrates those changes with automated testing before release into the network. Network CD takes released changes and continuously deploys them into network.
WHAT? A wave of innovation is bringing sweeping changes to networking technology. Virtualisation, unimaginable scale, hardware commoditisation, and automation are revolutionising network software.
WHERE? At Amazon we push the boundaries in robustness, fault-tolerance and smart adaptive algorithms that can react intelligently to real-world events. Software engineers on our team contribute to every phase of the development process and deploy scalable software systems worldwide.
WHY THERE? Amazon Web Services (AWS) runs one of the biggest networks in the world. We leverage big data technologies and deep network analytics software to drive network automation, performance, and reliability.
WHY CARE? Make history as a software developer at AWS Networking. We develop software at every level of the stack from front-end user interfaces to low-level embedded software and everything in between. We are a highly motivated, co-operative, and fun loving team of software developers who thrive on solving challenging problems and building large-scale distributed software systems.
Key job responsibilities
You are interested in being part of a high-bar team with global responsibility for the Network Observability software used across all of Amazon’s businesses.
Solving problems at scale excites you.
You do not implement specs from analysts and architects – you talk to your customers and design solutions to their problems. You automate and innovate.
You do not push just one technology agenda – you choose the best tool for the problem at hand.
You believe that the craft of software engineering is about writing code right the first time. For you, code reviews and automated testing are not chores – they are a core part of writing great software.
You do not throw your code over the wall. You launch it, own it, support it and make it incrementally better for the benefit of your customers.
You enjoy working in a flexible, fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
About the team
The Network Observability Engineering - Comprehensive Route Monitoring team monitors network routing by gathering metrics, analyzing intent, and alerting on anomalies. They collect and provide visibility on BGP-advertised routes for BMP-enabled devices, enabling control plane verification to prevent undesired routing events. Additionally, they enrich flows when device information is unavailable and maintain a Java library for streaming and consuming real-time BGP updates. This team processes millions of messages per second to ensure network routing integrity.
