Network Development Engineer

Job Description

Come join a creative team dedicated to changing the way movies are made!
Our production technology team at Amazon Studios is looking for Network Development Engineer at Amazon Studios. Your core job responsibility is to design network topologies, architectures, and services that solve for many requirements. We listen to our customers (both internal and external) and we also listen to our teams.
Our Engineers contribute materially to each team's roadmap, and constantly help us to determine what's most important. Together, you and your leadership team will decide on the projects that best support your team's mission.

The primary area of responsibility you and your team will have is to design ahead of customer or technology needs, predicting and solving for problems that have not yet occurred. This takes the form of creating and defending high level design (HLD) documents. You will work with vendors and internal stakeholders to influence technology roadmaps, constructing and testing your solutions, and providing support to the teams that will deploy and operate these designs. Our teams also serve as technical escalation points in support of our very talented operations teams.

We're interested in engineers with experience having designed, operated, and implemented networks of very large scale and well versed in the operation of the internet routing hierarchy. Candidates should understand the theory behind and have deep operational knowledge of routing protocols with particular emphasis on their impact to hardware platforms.
