Description The Imperium Network Traffic and Security (INTAS) team, under Operations Technology Infrastructure Engineering (OTIE) organization is looking for an experienced System Development Engineer to join team in Austin. The INTAS team provides network security solutions to Amazon fulfillment centers (FCs) using Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VLANs deployed on networking devices. ACLs act as a gatekeeper, allowing or blocking network traffic flow in and out of FCs based on predefined rules. Changes in the underlying infrastructure necessitate updates in deployed ACLs to ensure seamless operation of FC solutions. To maintain the right security posture while enabling FC solutions to get network connectivity within defined Service Level Agreements (SLA), the INTAS team focuses on two aspects: 1) ACL Freshness: the frequency with which ACLs are deployed to network devices, 2) ACL effectiveness: determines if the ACLs defined by the FC solutions using OTIE tools are used effectively and are not adding unnecessary complexity to the OTIE network. Key job responsibilities - The System Development Engineer (SysDE) in the INTAS team plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and secure operation of Amazon's FC solutions. - The SysDE in the INTAS identifies business problems, gathers data, proposes solutions and leads implementation. - The SysDE leads the development and maintenance of systems responsible for generating and deploying ACLs and VLAN information to network devices. These systems must ensure high availability, scalability, and performance to meet stringent SLAs for ACL freshness and effectiveness. - The SysDE collaborates closely with cross-functional teams to align on requirements, security guidelines, and best practices for ACL management and network security. They proactively identify and address technical debt, architectural limitations, and performance bottlenecks, proposing and implementing refactoring and optimization strategies to improve the systems' efficiency and maintainability. - The SysDE ensures robust monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting mechanisms are in place for the ACL management systems. - The SysDE gives careful consideration of availability, operations, maintenance, and cost. They exercise high judgement, skepticism, and scrutiny of requests to ensure that changes do not lead to unsupportable systems, non-compliance, security vulnerabilities or detrimental impact. - The SysDE designs the complete solution stack and delivers through others.
