The AWS Networking organization is hiring, and we're looking for talented Network Development Engineers (NDE) to join our network automation team. Within Networking, we're confronting and solving complex and high-stake challenges. Our teams support all aspects of connectivity to/from Amazon and the outside world, as well as the connectivity between Amazon's data centers and services. As a member of one our network engineering teams, you will play a part in designing and architecting automation solutions that simply cannot fail, must scale infinitely, and can never constrain growth or innovation.
This opportunity sits within our next generation fabric where the team is responsible for designing the networks connecting Amazon directly to the outside world, evolving the global backbone that interconnects our Regions as well as partnering with our internal customers. We move terabits of traffic in and out of our networks each day and are responsible for the ingress and egress points of traffic entering and leaving Amazon as well as the entirety of all internal and customer traffic that rides our global backbone. Engineers on this team make day-to-day and strategic decisions that carry a huge amount of responsibility and impact.
Responsibilities
As a Network Development Engineer at Amazon, your core job responsibility is to improve and accelerate network automation. We listen to our customers (both internal and external), but we also listen to our teams. Our Engineers contribute materially to each team's roadmap, and constantly help us to determine what's most important. Together, you and your leadership team will decide on the projects that best support your team's mission. You will have the resources and time necessary to understand, scope, and deliver these solutions. The primary area of responsibility you and your team will have is to design ahead of customer or technology needs, always predicting and solving for problems that have not yet occurred. This takes the form of creating and defending High Level Design (HLD) documents, working with internal stakeholders to influence technology roadmaps, constructing and testing your solutions, and providing support to the teams that will deploy and operate these designs.
We're interested in engineers with experience having designed, operated, and implemented automation of very large scale networks. Candidates should understand the theory behind and have deep operational knowledge of routing protocols with particular emphasis on their impact to hardware platforms.
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
