Description
Would you like to be an Engineer that builds the Cloud, rather than an Engineer that just uses it? At AWS, our Engineers look after the behind-the-scenes software and tools that make the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure possible.
We have an amazing opportunity to join a world-class network team in a dynamic environment that has the feel of a start-up.

You will actively be involved in innovating new software solutions to solve the challenges of operating the AWS network. Your internal customers are your network engineer colleagues, and through close collaboration, support and exchange of ideas, we share a common goal to serve our external customers and grow through learning and innovation.
