Software Development Engineer II, AWS, Network Alerts in Dublin, Ireland

Description

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.

The AWS Network Alerts team is looking for Software Development Engineers to build highly scalable monitoring systems for one of the world’s largest and most complex networks. Millions of customers depend on this infrastructure—whether for shopping on Amazon, streaming content on Kindle, or building their businesses on AWS. Our mission is to keep this network reliable, fault-tolerant, and self-healing, and our success depends on intelligent anomaly detection and automated diagnostics—that’s where you come in.

Join a world-class software development team that operates like a startup within AWS. As an SDE, you’ll work on large-scale distributed systems that process trillions of events per hour, leveraging anomaly detection and rule engines to proactively detect and remediate network impairments before they cause impact. What you will build will be used by network engineers, operators, and help keeping AWS services running reliably worldwide—ensuring the network infrastructure remains available 24×7.

We’re looking for developers who thrive on tackling high-scale, data-intensive challenges. You’ll work in an agile, fast-paced environment, collaborating with some of the best minds in the industry to build next-generation cloud monitoring solutions.

• Ensuring the operational health and scalability of our core network observability systems.

• Diagnosing and resolving complex technical issues to prevent recurrence.

• Designing and implementing fault-tolerant distributed systems.

• Influencing architecture and engineering excellence across the team.

Reasons to Join Us:

• Develop high-scale observability solutions that monitor AWS Network 24×7.

• Own and operate multiple highly available, critical services processing trillions of events per hour.
