Do you like to design, operate, and implement networks of large scale? Would you like your work to play a key role to support all aspects of connectivity to/from Amazon and the outside world, as well as the connectivity between Amazon’s data centers and services to design and architect innovation so networks are fail‑proof, infinitely scale and grow?

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.
