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. Our team builds AWS Intent Driven Networking (AIDN), the management plane at the heart of the AWS network that compiles declarative intent into network state and applies it to the target fabric. AIDN operates across every AWS region, and we're making it more robust and scalable as we onboard new fabric types and network layers. You'll design and build distributed systems where correctness, safety, velocity and blast radius all matter. You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers and collaborate with people across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security. We work on some of the most challenging problems in infrastructure at scale, and we're looking for talented engineers who want to take them on. You'll find an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer on AIDN, you own the full software development lifecycle — design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational maintenance — for components across the platform. Your components must be secure by design and meet a high bar for consistency, availability, and network safety. You bring distributed systems knowledge and networking fundamentals to every design decision, anticipating how your software behaves at scale and under degraded conditions and factoring those scenarios in from the start. You own your components independently, make sound technical trade-offs within your area, and hold your work to a high engineering standard: extensible design and well-defined interfaces. You continuously raise operational posture through the right metrics, monitoring, and alarms that give clear visibility into platform health. You provide meaningful feedback through design and code reviews, mentor less-experienced engineers, and proactively communicate progress, risks, and blockers. You collaborate across team boundaries and contribute to the team's technical direction.

About the team
We are the AWS Intent Driven Networking (AIDN) team, part of the Core Networking organization within AWS Networking. We own the management plane for the AWS network, with a mission to make AWS networks consistent, safe, predictable, and agile at the scale of the world's largest cloud infrastructure. Want to see what it's like to work here? Meet Matt, Director of Core Networking.
