The OpsTech Networking Edge team builds next-generation edge network infrastructure that powers Amazon's global fulfillment and operations network. The team manages WAN connectivity, SDWAN architecture, and edge security for over 3,700 sites worldwide, supporting Amazon Operations and Grocery businesses.

We are seeking a Network Development Engineer II to design and implement horizontally scalable edge architecture.

You will operate the largest fulfillment network in the world, working with technologies including IPSec encryption, application-aware routing, automated traffic controllers, and AWS Network Firewalls. You will leverage AI-powered tools to enhance network operations, including agentic AWS AI tools for automation, diagnostics, and operational efficiency. You will collaborate with customers and stakeholders to develop project ideas into project plans, participate actively in design reviews and operational reviews, and mentor team members. Network reliability is essential to Amazon Operations, and your responsibilities include driving root cause resolution of network events most impactful to the business.
The OpsTech Networking organization supports multiple business units globally, from delivery stations in emerging markets to advanced automated fulfillment centers in North America, Japan, and Europe.
