Amazon is seeking a Software Development Engineer to help build and operate network-fabric systems supporting large-scale cloud infrastructure. The role typically requires a degree in computer science or equivalent experience, strong skills in Java, C++, Python, or similar languages, and practical knowledge of distributed systems, networking, Linux, and software development practices. Candidates should be comfortable designing reliable services, troubleshooting complex production issues, writing maintainable code, and working across engineering teams. Experience with routing, switching, network automation, cloud platforms, or high-availability systems is valuable. Amazon expects engineers to take ownership, work effectively in an agile environment, communicate clearly, and deliver secure, scalable solutions for demanding internal and external customers.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Seattle. It operates online marketplaces, logistics networks, digital media services, advertising platforms, and Amazon Web Services, one of the world's leading cloud-computing providers. Amazon employs people across engineering, operations, retail, finance, research, and corporate functions. Its engineering teams develop highly scalable systems used by millions of customers and businesses worldwide. The company is known for customer-focused product development, data-driven decision-making, and a culture built around leadership principles such as ownership, innovation, and high standards. In Ireland, Amazon has substantial technology, cloud, operations, and corporate activities, with Dublin serving as an important European hub. Employees generally work in fast-moving, collaborative teams and may have opportunities to contribute to international products and infrastructure.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, pharmaceuticals, financial services, and multinational technology. Dublin is the main technology hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also provide growing career markets. Irish workplace culture is generally friendly, informal, collaborative, and communicative, with English used widely. Lifestyle benefits include lively towns, historic sites, music, outdoor activities, and easy access to the coast and countryside. Housing, particularly in Dublin, is expensive and competitive, so relocation planning should begin early. Non-EEA nationals usually need an employment permit; experienced software engineers may qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit, subject to current occupation and salary rules. EEA and Swiss citizens can generally live and work without a permit. New arrivals should arrange accommodation, a tax number, banking, healthcare access, and registration requirements where applicable.
