A day in the life
Software Development Engineers in the Internet Edge organization have a wide
range of responsibilities: we evolve routing policy, implement traffic engineering
solutions, grow our peering footprint, secure the “front door” from bad actors on
the Internet, and architect the hardware platforms and network design to
support any Amazon product that needs to reach end-users worldwide. Our
infrastructure moves terabits of traffic to and from the Internet at any given
moment, and represents one of the largest edge surface areas in the world,
requiring complex solutions to ensure that capacity always stays ahead of
demand. To accomplish that, our engineers develop automation, write software,
and work with a wide range of partner teams to continually improve and
automate our Internet connectivity in areas such as capacity delivery,
configuration deployment, impairment detection, and traffic optimization.
Internet Edge engineers make decisions on both a day-to-day and long-term
strategic basis, which carries a large amount of responsibility and impact across
all of Amazon’s products.

About the team
Amazon customers rely on Internet connectivity to reach AWS services, through Private Network Interfaces (“PNIs”) directly connected to external networks, public peering at multi-tenant Internet Exchanges (“IXs”) co-located in the same datacenter as AWS, or the full Internet routing table from Tier1 global service providers (“transit”). We are the front door to AWS. Customers expect the Internet to “just work” and never get in the way of their applications or services; the availability, performance, security and cost of our Internet connectivity underpins the quality of every customers’ AWS experience. The Internet Edge organization owns Internet connectivity for AWS.

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
