Key job responsibilities
What You’ll Be Working On
A Network Development Engineer is responsible for ensuring all network fabrics and devices are operating as expected. An NDE will utilise their networking skills along with available tools and services to troubleshoot and resolve any issues that have not been remediated through automation and to identify the root cause. They are expected to invent, refine and develop new automation and tools to reduce manual operations and fulfil the requirements of the business and customers.
About The Team
The Network Development team drives engineering, implementation, scalability, operations, reliability, and sustainability for all of the network fabrics that underpin the software services and platforms used within an AWS isolated region.
Top Reasons To Join Our Team
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.
