Job description

Software Development Engineer, GCNA Network Availability Engineer

Job ID: 2902905 | Amazon Development Centre Ireland Limited

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.

Network Availability Engineering (NAE) is responsible for preventing, predicting, detecting and remediating impairments across our network, both physical and logical, before they cause impact to our customers.
Join a software development team responsible for Active Monitoring of Amazon's global network.

Active Monitoring generates synthetic traffic to simulate customer traffic in order to detect and triangulate the source of faults throughout the network.
Active Monitoring systems are a critical component in ensuring the availability of Amazon's global Network.
Come help us build a state of the art system!
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.
A day in the life
Here are some reasons you should come work with us:
- You will get the opportunity to work closely with a great team
- You will handle the complete product and software development lifecycle with your team: defining, prioritising, designing, building, and testing new features
- You will understand what it takes to grow and operate a global business at our scale.
Active Monitoring systems are a critical component in ensuring the availability of Amazon's global Network.
