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.

This is an opportunity to operate and engineer systems on a massive scale, and to gain top-notch experience in software defined networking and cloud computing. You'll be surrounded by people who are smart, passionate about cloud computing and believe that world class service is critical to customer success. You will work alongside some of the best software and network development engineers in the world, helping to continue design and deliver the Direct Connect product.
