The AWS Networking organization develops and operates the network platform for all of Amazon, including its e-commerce products and Cloud Computing solutions. This platform is industry-leading for its efficiency, throughput, scalability, reliability and intelligence. The network is fundamental to the success of Amazon.com and hundreds of thousands of AWS Customers. As a Network Development Manager for the Border and Backbone Network Engineering team in AWS Networking, you will own the design, scalability and performance of the AWS global backbone network that interconnects AWS Regions and Points of Presence. Your job is to lead a team of 8+ highly skilled Network Development Engineers and deliver solutions that are always available, never constrain customers, continually reduce cost and provide low and consistent latency. You will leverage your skills in strategy, network design and planning, capacity management, project management, recruiting and team development to build a high performing team that delivers an exceptional customer experience. Your work will delight our customers and disrupt the networking industry. This opportunity sits within our Border Network Engineering 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.
