Network Dev Engineer, Internet Edge 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 Networking organization is hiring, and we're looking for talented Network Development Engineers (NDE) to join our 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 of our network engineering teams, you will play a part in designing and architecting networks that simply cannot fail, must scale infinitely, and can never constrain growth or innovation.
This opportunity sits within our Internet Services organization where the team is responsible for designing the networks connecting Amazon directly to the outside world (including the Internet, peers, and external customers), evolving the global backbone that interconnects our Regions as well as partnering with our internal customers.
Engineers in this organization define routing policy, design and implement Traffic Engineering solutions, as well as architect the hardware platforms and network design to support internal and external connectivity.
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.
As a Network Development Engineer at Amazon, your core job responsibility is to design network topologies, architectures, and services that solve for many requirements.
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 vendors or internal stakeholders to influence technology roadmaps, constructing and testing your solutions, and providing support to the teams that will deploy and operate these designs.
Our teams also serve as technical escalation points in support of our very talented operations teams.
Key job responsibilities An Internet Edge NDE at AWS is responsible for providing our customers world class Internet connectivity by optimizing for security, availability, performance, and cost.
We do this by setting network standards and creating scalable designs that our customers love.
A day in the life We partner with customer and stakeholder teams, meeting with both to ensure we capture requirements and user experience stories to better equip ourselves with the tools we need to provide the highest performing network we can.

Within AWS Networking, the Internet Edge organization is responsible for connecting Amazon to the global Internet.
With connections to thousands of unique external networks in hundreds of locations across the world, our mission is to deliver an Internet connectivity experience that sets the global standard for performance, availability, security, and cost, making Amazon the clear choice for our customers' needs.
