We are growing fast, and are looking for kernel/embedded C programmers who can deliver ultra-high performance - our goal is to be processing many millions of packets per second on embedded CPU cores. This requires both being able to implement highly optimized data structures, but also low level tuning to our hardware. If you have good experience in C/C++, and a passion for systems software engineering such as kernel or embedded development, then this is a unique opportunity to join us in building the platform which is the basis for all new EC2 VPC features in the years to come.Dataplane engineers work on a lower level of the software stack that directly interacts with hardware, and therefore need knowledge of the hardware also. They aren’t pure software developers that can program to any platform where the underlying hardware is abstracted from them. They require knowledge of the programming languages optimized for lower level programming such as C, C++, Rust, Assembly Language. We require them to be able to read a hardware specification for a Network Card and be able to optimize their code to run on it.Your responsibilities will include:
Communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior management to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategy

- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language

- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
- Experience in embedded development in C/C++
