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 for you to join a world-class network team in a dynamic environment that has the feel of a start-up.

What you’ll be working on:
* Simplifying and reinventing systems, processes, and tools to make things better for our customers
* Managing and growing innovative, production-quality tools to solve real operational problems for our network
* Investigating technical issues scientifically and thoroughly, and assist in fixing them so they don't come back
* Providing technical solutions to real business problems in a global organization
Top reasons to join our team:
* Be a catalyst to deliver truly disruptive products that are growing rapidly
* Define, build, own, and run a service in a high growth environment
* Build and influence the tools and utilities that are part of the AWS fleet running our internal services
* Learning from industry recognized Amazon distinguished engineers
AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS)
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.
