Are you into hard core networking? Low level Linux is your game? Interested in extreme data path optimization? Mixing all of those with cloud computing on a huge scale?

We are building the future of SDNs (Software Defined Networks) powering the core of AWS Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) infrastructure.
We are one of the very few teams in Amazon that work with bare metal devices using C/C++ and utilizing the very latest HW technologies.
Our team owns the data path of our EC2 core confidential network devices.

The EC2 Networking team is looking for talented software engineers to help us build new innovative features driving the future of cloud computing, and the tools to help us operate in this space.

If you are a Software Engineer with a strong background coding under Linux and a passion for network programming and distributed systems, then this is your opportunity to own major deliverables and all aspects of the development cycle: scoping, design, implementation, and testing. You will be encouraged to exercise your judgment in proactively determining and recommending the best features, designs, and support models based on business objectives, timelines, and resource constraints.

So, what's in it for you?

· Scale New Heights - Our devices power the core of EC2 infrastructure. We scale to network speeds that are on the edge of what is available world wide.
· Fun, non-formal environment - Although we take our work seriously, we don't forget to have fun and share laughs :)
