About The Position

The Operations Network Engineering (ONE) team under Amazon Robotics is looking for a Network Development Engineer (NDE) to join our team. We build and operate the networks and services that enable Amazon Fulfillment Centers, Middle and Last Mile facilities, Air hubs, and PrimeNow to deliver packages to customers. From two-million-square-foot automated robotics fulfillment centers to small last-mile delivery stations in emerging markets, these networks are the backbone of Amazon Operations. Hundreds of thousands of associates rely on them across thousands of locations — they are critical to on-time delivery of every customer order. Our mission is to design, deploy, and assist networks that set the global standard for performance, availability, security, and cost efficiency. We are looking for an NDE to create next-generation network products. The team is focused on automating networks from multiple diverse vendors, maximizing reliability while minimizing human touch in deployment and maintenance. We partner closely with IT support teams to ensure that simplicity in our product designs translates to maintainability in the field. Information security rigor is at the core of everything we do. You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and work with multiple technical teams across Amazon. You should be comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before. We expect you to be technically bold while remaining balanced and pragmatic in your approach. The right candidate will have demonstrated experience leading large projects and an expert-level technical background in current networking technologies. You must thrive in an entrepreneurial environment — driving high-level strategic initiatives one day and rolling up your sleeves to get the job done the next. As an NDE, you will anticipate bottlenecks, influence external vendor and internal team roadmaps, provide escalation management, make tradeoffs, and balance business needs against technical constraints. You'll solve problems at a scale few organizations encounter, and make a positive impact on millions of people.
