Job description

Job ID: 2957607 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

In this role you will have the opportunity to build the next generation of building system networks across over 600 buildings worldwide. We want to build smarter and more reliable buildings while setting a new global standard for operational technology cybersecurity. Our mission is to design, deploy, and support networks that set the global standard for performance, availability, security, and cost, enabling global facility operations to exceptional workplace experiences for our builders. We are looking for a Network Development Engineer to create next-generation network systems and architectures that support our operational and IoT technologies. The team is focused on automating networks from multiple diverse vendors and maximizing reliability while minimizing human touch in deployment and maintenance activities. We partner closely with IT support teams to ensure that simplicity in our product designs translates to supportability in the field. Information security rigor is at the core of everything we do.

As a NDE, you will anticipate bottlenecks, influence external vendors and internal team roadmaps, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints.
