Job Description

DESCRIPTION

A wave of innovation is bringing sweeping changes to networking technology. Virtualization, unimaginable scale, hardware commoditization and automation are revolutionizing network software. At Amazon Web Services (AWS) we leverage big data technologies and deep network analytics to model, build and run one of the largest networks in the world. We push the boundaries of robustness and fault-tolerance. Our engineers design smart adaptive algorithms that react intelligently to real-world events. We develop software at every level of the stack from front-end user interfaces to low-level embedded software and everything in between. We are a highly motivated, collaborative, and fun-loving team of software developers who thrive on solving challenging problems.

As a Software Engineer on the Network Spatial Data(NSD) team you will build software that will allow AWS to understand, build and improve the reliability of the physical AWS network. NSD customers need this geospatial data to visualize a network that crosses the entire plant, identify where in the real world availability risk lies and to plan exponential network growth. This is a great opportunity to work full stack from geospatial visualization UIs, down through the big data services used to detect real-world anomalies.

Key job responsibilities

• Understand, analyze and develop software solutions based on requirements related to telecommunications and network market segments, customer base, and industry verticals. Solutions to include custom GIS desktop and web applications, geoprocessing services, APIs, etc
• Configure, maintain and support production databases using industry standard RDBMS (PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server) and Amazon AWS offerings (RDS, DynamoDB, Redshift)
• Perform complex design, coding and testing of spatial applications using Python & JavaScript
• Able to think out of the box to address complex business and technical problems
• Able to develop user interfaces with modern JavaScript libraries, such as React

About the team
We provide authoritative geospatial data, and physical risk analysis services for our customers to efficiently and reliably plan, build, and operate the AWS physical network. We are nimble and passionate about geospatial systems and building software at Amazon scale. Our product is full-stack covering global visualization of the Amazon network, down through APIs, search services and export functionality. This role will let you guide the product evolution, while touching the entire stack.
