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 engineers, security experts, 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 Anti-DDoS team is the frontline defense for all DDoS threats world-wide, against all Amazon & AWS customers and services. Our architecture must be highly scalable, performant, and continually evolve against threats as they emerge.

The Anti-DDoS team is looking for software engineers to solve incredibly challenging problems, deliver new capabilities, and continue to scale our platform to meet the increasing needs of our customers world-wide. The ideal candidate should have strong programming experience in JAVA and Python. Technical background in networking or DPDK framework is a definite plus but not necessary.

Candidates who enjoy computer networking, deep packet analysis, low-level, performance sensitive, systems programming and have deep analytical skills and excellent communication skills will find the Anti-DDoS team to be inline with their interests and desire for challenge. You must be able to highly collaborate, be creative, analytical and thrive in fast-paced environments, all while interacting with highly technical software and networking development teams.
