Software Development Engineer, GCNA Network Availability Engineer

AWS operates one of the world’s largest and most highly available networks which continues to grow rapidly in both size and complexity in response to customer demand. Many AWS customers run mission critical workloads that depend on our networks to be always on.

Network Availability Engineering (NAE) is responsible for preventing, predicting, detecting and remediating impairments across our network, both physical and logical, before they cause impact to our customers. Join a software development team responsible for Active Monitoring of Amazon's global network. Active Monitoring generates synthetic traffic to simulate customer traffic in order to detect and triangulate the source of faults throughout the network. Active Monitoring systems are a critical component in ensuring the availability of Amazon's global Network.

Here are some reasons you should come work with us:

• You will get the opportunity to work closely with a great team

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.
