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. As a System Development Engineer you will help to deploy, manage, fix and reinvent the tools, services and components that network engineering rely on to automate our network and keep it operational.

If you are exceptionally motivated and passionate about the work you do then we welcome you to join us, working in an Agile environment with the most advanced tools, processes and talented people in the industry to make the Cloud a reality.

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
