Software Development Engineer, EC2 Gateway Networking
Amazon Web Services is looking for an software engineer to help solve cutting edge networking problems at AWS scale! This position is a software engineering role within the EC2 Networking organization where you will work on delivering feature enhancements to the most prevalent networking primitive in EC2's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), the Internet Gateway (IGW).

As a tier zero Amazon service our solutions have to be scalable, efficient, and fault tolerant. You will be responsible for influencing and shaping the direction of our services. You will help design, plan, and execute on new features as well as existing services, with a unique emphasis on security. We operate at global scale and enable customers to build highly available systems, world-wide.

A successful candidate will bring deep technical background, an enthusiasm to learn, and a desire to have an broad impact with their deliveries.

Key job responsibilities
A Software Development Engineer (L5) on the team is expected to operate autonomously, deliver projects that have scope at the team level and are starting to interact with other teams. While they are capable of independently designing, developing, and testing software components, they are expected to seek input from more senior engineers through regular reviews. They seek guidance from their manager, Sr. Engineers, or Principal Engineers when facing tough trade-off decisions. They mentor new team members on how the team’s services are constructed and operate. They help guide and influence the team by providing feedback during code reviews and operations reviews and they influence their manager by contributing during backlog reviews and planning meetings. They solve difficult technical problems that require understanding the team’s software and weigh trade-offs to deliver solutions that are logical, testable and maintainable.

A day in the life
A typical day for this role will include driving designs for components and services that deliver new features and capabilities, reviewing code of other members on the team, writing complex code, performing root cause analysis on operational events, providing project updates to leadership and other team members and developing estimates for upcoming deliverables.
