Network Development Engineer, Bere Engineering

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.

The AWS Global Connectivity and Network Availability (GCNA) Organization is looking for a Network Development Engineer to join our Backbone Enterprise, and Regional Engineering (BERE) team.
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.

AWS GCNA is the backbone that connects the global AWS network and focuses on controlling the internet traffic that allows users to access their information and applications regardless of where they are in the world.
GCNA is responsible for building and designing a complex backbone network that allows internet traffic to flow efficiently between data centers and customers.

If you like to work with new technologies, optimizing existing technology, and have experience participating in network/systems support for a large-scale enterprise or service provider environment, we would like to meet you.
Your work will play a key role in driving the stability and sustainability of next-generation IP networks.
