Amazon is seeking a Software Development Engineer to build and operate reliable, scalable services for CloudFront’s media and entertainment customers. The role typically requires professional software development experience, proficiency in languages such as Java, C++, or Python, knowledge of data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and object-oriented design, and a degree in computer science or equivalent experience. Candidates are expected to write high-quality, maintainable code, contribute to technical design, investigate and resolve production issues, work effectively with cross-functional teams, and deliver customer-focused solutions in an agile environment. Experience with cloud technologies, content delivery networks, streaming, or large-scale systems would be advantageous.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company operating across online retail, cloud computing, digital entertainment, logistics, advertising, and consumer devices. Its cloud division, Amazon Web Services, provides infrastructure and platform services to organisations worldwide. CloudFront is Amazon’s content delivery network, designed to deliver websites, APIs, video, software, and other digital content with low latency and high reliability. Amazon’s engineering teams are known for working on large-scale, customer-focused systems and for giving software developers substantial ownership of design, implementation, and operational performance. In Ireland, Amazon has significant operations in Dublin and other locations, including technology, customer service, finance, and corporate functions. Benefits and compensation can vary by level, experience, location, and the overall package of salary, equity, and incentives.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data, finance, pharmaceuticals, and technology consulting, with major employment centres in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford. The culture is generally friendly, sociable, and informal, with a strong pub, music, sport, and community tradition. Lifestyle benefits include scenic coastlines, historic towns, and easy travel around the island, although housing—especially in Dublin—can be expensive and competitive. Non-EU citizens may need an employment permit; experienced software engineers can often qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit if the role and salary meet current requirements. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens generally do not need a work permit. Relocating usually involves arranging accommodation, immigration permission where required, a Personal Public Service number, banking, healthcare access, and tax registration.
