# Software Development Engineer, NetOS Observability

AWS runs one of the largest networks in the world. We design and implement its network devices and their operating system, NetOS. Every AWS service runs on this network, and every packet in the cloud touches our code! Nobody notices a healthy network. Operators need to know within seconds when a link degrades in one data center, and the first signal comes from software on the device. We write that software. Our team, NetOS Observability, builds the agent that collects metrics, events, and logs from every NetOS device and publishes them to the network telemetry platform. Fleet health systems, SDN controllers, and network operators consume what we ship. We are moving the fleet off a legacy daemon and onto a brand new Rust agent. In 2027, we take it to every supported platform, retire the legacy collectors, and let builders publish a new metric fleet-wide in two weeks. You will own that agent end to end, from its design to its release across the fleet to its behavior in production. The decisions that shape the next decade of network telemetry are open now. We need your help to craft the future. Key job responsibilities - Design and implement the NetOS observability agent in Rust on Li
