Description

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.

Amazon’s network is a key differentiator for Amazon Cloud Computing and Web Services (AWS), enabling the global operation of thousands of applications across millions of servers worldwide. The AWS Networking team develops and operates the global network platform for all of Amazon, superseding a network that originally evolved using industry-standard technologies and designs. Our teams support all aspects of connectivity to/from Amazon and the outside world, as well as connectivity between Amazon’s data centers and services. .

You’ll think globally when building systems, ensuring Amazon builds high performing, scalable systems that deliver on availability, latency and cost. Principal Infra TechBDs are pragmatic visionaries who can translate business needs into workable technology solutions. Your expertise is deep and broad; you're a subject matter expert in telecommunications, experienced with suppliers, physical network infrastructure, optical technologies and backbone network engineering. You’re hands on, producing both detailed technical work and high-level designs and strategies.

In this role, you will report directly to the Head of Global Backbone Network Development, and will have responsibility for our Global Planning roadmap among other key programs. You will also heavily contribute to the broader team's roadmap and technical planning, participate in investment decisions, design reviews, and represent our team to AWS leadership. You will mentor backbone planners and business developers, and grow them to embody best practices. Within the team, you will serve as a leader who helps to define the group’s priorities and vision. You will collaborate with teams within Networking and AWS to create the best-in-class solutions for our customers worldwide!
