Description For Software Development Engineer, Elastic Load Balancing

AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) is seeking a Software Development Engineer to join their team in building cloud-scale infrastructure. ELB enables customers to build large-scale highly available services by automatically distributing incoming application traffic across multiple targets like EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions.

The role is specifically focused on the Network Load Balancer (NLB) team, which owns health checking of targets for L4 Load Balancer products including NLB, GWLB, Falcon, and VPC Lattice. The team also manages TLS termination for NLBs, playing a crucial role in ensuring customer data security.

AWS ELB is deployed globally across 25+ regions and experiencing rapid growth. You'll tackle complex challenges like enabling rapid application scaling, designing fault-tolerant load balancing solutions, and building next-generation services capable of handling terabytes of data daily.

The position offers:

Opportunity to work on services used by global customers
Regular launches of new services and features
Hands-on experience with distributed systems at scale
Work-life harmony with flexible working culture
Strong focus on diversity and inclusion
Career development through mentorship and knowledge-sharing
Comprehensive compensation package including equity and benefits

AWS values diverse experiences and encourages applications from candidates with non-traditional backgrounds. The team culture emphasizes continuous learning, inclusivity, and professional growth through various employee-led affinity groups and learning initiatives.

How would you implement a service like Twitter?

System DesignHard

Let's design a Twitter-like service. Consider the following: Core Functionality: How would you implement the ability for users to post tweets, follow other users, and view a timeline of tweets from the users they follow? Data Model: What database schema would you use to store tweets, user information, and follower relationships? Consider scalability and efficiency for reads and writes. Scalability: How would you handle a large number of users and tweets? Discuss strategies for sharding, caching, and load balancing. Real-time Updates: How would you ensure that users see new tweets in their timeline in near real-time? Consider using technologies like WebSockets or Server-Sent Events. Search: How would you implement a search feature that allows users to find tweets containing specific keywords or hashtags? Think about indexing strategies and search algorithms. Rate Limiting: How would you prevent abuse and ensure fair usage of the service? Describe your approach to rate limiting API requests. Example Scenario: Imagine a user, Alice, follows 1,000 other users, including Bob. Bob posts a tweet. Explain how that tweet would propagate to Alice's timeline, considering potential performance bottlenecks. Technology Stack: What technologies (programming languages, frameworks, databases, etc.) would you choose and why?
