EC2 HyperPlane is an AWS core service that offers customers incredibly scalable and robust load balancing technology. We support a number of internal service as well as customer facing products, such as NAT Gateway, Network Load Balancer, Private Link, and many others. We are now designing and building the next generation systems capable of handling massive amounts of data per day, and growing from there. This is a unique opportunity to innovate and build some of the world’s most resilient large-scale systems from the ground up.
We innovate frequently, and hold ourselves to high standards of service and availability. We ship software frequently, get fast feedback from real customers around the globe, and see the results of our work come to fruition.
Our team tackles real-world problems that don’t generally have ready-made solutions. For example, how do you ensure customers can scale their application quickly to handle traffic spikes and then back down in a matter of minutes? How do you design a load balancing solution that allows customers to quickly and easily achieve the highest levels of fault tolerance using Amazon EC2?
Do you want to help design and build a service that is used by millions of customers every day? Are you passionate about architecting highly available and large-scale services? If the answer is yes, the HyperPlane team wants to talk with you.
We care about career growth. We work hard to find the right tasks for our engineers so they can continue to grow into more well rounded engineers, increase their software engineering skills and give them the opportunity to expand into functional areas they are interested in learning.
We’re looking for a teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, values the Amazon Leadership Principles and will help us build our positive team culture.
