Software Development Engineer - EC2, Outposts, EC2 Outposts

About the role

Come work for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Outposts, a highly recognized hybrid cloud offering from AWS. AWS Outposts is an on-premises version of AWS public cloud. Our team is responsible for managing the network route that enables communication between Outpost and its associated AWS Region, performing several transformations and validations on the packets both to and from the AWS Region, setting up and managing network configuration, pushing the network configurations to other Outpost services, packet inspections, and the logical interconnect virtual router that enables communication between Outpost and customer on-premise network.

We are a start-up like team within a big enterprise, allowing us to take risks and experiment. Team members can flex their technical muscles, grow in their careers, and be part of the product's growth story. This position involves on-call responsibilities typically for two weeks every 2-3 months. The first week is primary and the second week is secondary on-call. We work to ensure our systems are fault tolerant to avoid pages in the middle of the night or on weekends. When we do get paged, we collaborate to resolve the root cause and prevent repeat issues.

We believe good code reviews raise our code quality, grow our technical acumen, and provide opportunities to support and share knowledge within the team. We support our own code in production, take code reviews seriously, and ship code every day.
