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.
