Cloud Hardware Development Engineer, AWS Networking Interconnects Team

Do you like to use network and Unix systems engineering to deliver simple,

sustainable, and repeatable solutions? Would you like to play a key role in

driving the stability and sustainability of next-generation IP networks?

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.

our Network Product Development (NPD) team. As a CHDE, you will be responsible

for building, deploying and scaling the Amazon networks that support AWS,

customers, and other business units, across multiple global data centers.

engineering, best practices application, optimization, internal/external

customer interactions, and produce appropriate technical documentation.

A day in the life

On an everyday basis as part of our team, you have the unique opportunity to

understand the growing AWS network and our internal customers’ requirement on

interconnect solutions. You'll work backwards to devise hardware solutions by

influencing the broad industry and/or to develop software tools with sister

teams to maintain a highly available network that delights AWS customers. You

design and implement processes and mechanisms that both help the team to deliver

business impact to the organization in a systemic way, while also helping to

raise the bar on our operational excellence.

Operating at the scale we do, there is no blueprint for how to do what we do,

which encourages our engineers to identify and develop simple solutions to

complex problems. We encourage durable solutions that look around corners while

taking into consideration our customer needs from a cost, performance, and

reliability perspective. We work closely with our internal partners that design,

build and operate the network to ensure that our solutions meet their needs and

exceed their expectations.

related issues for a transparent AWS customer experience.
