Are you a seasoned engineer who wants to shape the technical direction of a team from the ground up? The Hyperplane team within AWS is rebuilding one of its critical engineering groups and looking for experienced technical leaders to help strengthen engineering practices, raise the bar on software quality, and drive the next wave of innovation — including investments in generative AI and a greenfield rewrite of a core system.
Hyperplane delivers a distributed Network Function Virtualization (NFV) platform that powers customer-facing services such as NAT Gateway, Elastic File System, Load Balancers, and AWS service endpoints. We operate at massive scale on critical workloads, and we need engineers who are comfortable navigating ambiguity, making sound technical trade-offs, and mentoring others along the way. If you want to leave a lasting mark on cloud networking infrastructure that serves millions of customers, this is the role for you.
Key job responsibilities
Design and build highly scalable distributed systems for AWS's network virtualization infrastructure, ensuring low-latency and high-throughput performance for millions of customer workloads
The Hyperplane team builds and operates the foundational network virtualization platform that powers Amazon EC2. Our systems process trillions of packets daily, providing secure network isolation, policy enforcement, and traffic management for millions of customer instances across AWS regions. We are in a period of deliberate investment — rebuilding our team with experienced technical leaders, expanding into generative AI, and planning a greenfield rewrite of a critical system.
It is a rare opportunity to join at a moment when you can directly influence the team's culture, technical direction, and long-term roadmap.
