Amazon is seeking a Software Development Engineer to build and improve CloudFront’s routing dataplane, the technology responsible for directing customer requests efficiently across a global content-delivery network. The role typically requires a degree in computer science or equivalent experience, strong proficiency in C++, Java, or another systems programming language, and solid knowledge of data structures, algorithms, networking, and distributed systems. Experience developing highly available, low-latency services, troubleshooting production issues, and working in Linux environments is valuable. The successful candidate is expected to design maintainable solutions, write high-quality code and tests, participate in technical reviews, collaborate across teams, and take ownership of reliable services operating at very large scale.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company founded in 1994. It operates online marketplaces, logistics networks, advertising services, digital entertainment products, smart devices, and Amazon Web Services, one of the world’s largest cloud-computing platforms. Amazon CloudFront is its global content delivery network, helping businesses deliver websites, applications, video, and APIs quickly and securely to users worldwide. The company is known for customer-focused product development, large-scale infrastructure, and a culture built around ownership, invention, and high operating standards. Teams generally work in an environment that values measurable results, technical depth, experimentation, and independent decision-making. Amazon employs people across Ireland in engineering, cloud computing, operations, finance, customer support, and corporate functions, with major technology activity centred around Dublin and other locations.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, pharmaceuticals, financial services, medical technology, and multinational technology operations. Dublin is the main employment hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also have active technology and business communities. Irish culture is friendly and social, with a strong pub, music, sport, and festival tradition; English is widely used professionally. The lifestyle combines lively cities with easy access to coastlines, countryside, and historic towns, although rents and housing availability—especially in Dublin—can be challenging. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens generally do not need a work visa. Non-EU applicants usually require an employment permit, with highly skilled technology roles often eligible for a Critical Skills Employment Permit. Relocating typically involves arranging accommodation, immigration permission where required, tax registration, banking, healthcare access, and a Personal Public Service number. Weather is mild but changeable, so waterproof clothing is useful.
