Amazon Web Services Direct Connect is a unique software defined network that provides customers with a dedicated network connection from their on-premise network to the cloud.

We’re looking for systems development engineers who have experience in system engineering, system automation, operational posturing, and system analysis.

In AWS Direct Connect, we are looking for a System Development Engineer to help us scale systems and tools that our customers use.
