Do you want to shape the future of virtualized (SDN) networking in one of the world’s biggest public clouds?
The EC2 Instance Networking VPC team develops the foundational data plane primitives that powers the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for EC2 instances which allows customers to leverage VPC on a wide range of workloads from general purpose to specialized machine learning and latency sensitive applications.
We are growing fast, and we are looking for an experience Software Engineer to drive our vision of making EC2 VPC the most trusted, secure, and reliable networking environment on the planet.

The role offers opportunities to impact all of our customers, including internal ones like AWS EC2, S3, and DynamoDB, as well as external customers running on EC2, as we frequently deploy new capabilities and updates. With access to Principal and Senior Principal leaders across AWS, there is significant potential for professional growth to help shape the future of cloud computing infrastructure.

About the team
Inclusive Team Culture

Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives. This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.
