About The Position

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation
of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the
cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage,
networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have
continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging
problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re
looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply
chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.
You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest
standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at
the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive
culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Network Development Engineers partner with our broader Infrastructure
organization on configurations standards and tools, and collaborate with Systems
and Software Engineers to ensure fast, smooth roll-out of new designs and
products, and also deploy and sustain networking software tools.

Our data center networks provide high availability, high performance solutions
for aggregating server racks; carrying the traffic and trust of our AWS
customers. As part of this mission the team designs and develops solutions to
onboard new platforms, improve existing software and deliver solutions to remove
human effort from these processes.

If you are interested in designing and supporting enterprise-scale
infrastructure, we'd love for you to apply! Come join us if you want to test
your limits and tackle technical challenges that you won't see anywhere else.
