About the role

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. The AWS Route 53 Resolver team is looking for a mid-level Software Development Engineer to build and operate a globally distributed DNS resolution service that enables AWS customers to securely resolve internal and external DNS names across regions, networks, and hybrid environments. You will help ensure DNS queries are resolved securely, reliably, and within milliseconds for enterprise customers running workloads across VPCs, on-prem, and edge locations. This is a rare opportunity to build a new AWS service from its preview launch toward global scale. You will work across the entire stack—control plane, data plane, API surfaces, and deep integrations with AGA, EC2 Networking, DNS Firewall, and Route 53 core systems. You will also drive system architecture, spearhead best practices, and coach junior engineers.

The Route 53 team operates in over 50 locations worldwide, offering advanced functionality such as Private DNS, DNS Firewall, DNS resolver, and integrations with numerous AWS services. We work on deep technical problems spanning databases, networking, distributed systems, numerical analysis, and security.
