AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

A wave of innovation is bringing sweeping changes to networking technology. Virtualization, unimaginable scale, hardware commoditization and automation are revolutionizing network software. At Amazon Web Services (AWS) we leverage big data technologies and deep network analytics to model, build and run one of the largest networks in the world. We push the boundaries of robustness and fault-tolerance. Our engineers design smart adaptive algorithms that react intelligently to real-world events. We develop software at every level of the stack from front-end user interfaces to low-level embedded software and everything in between. We are a highly motivated, collaborative, and fun-loving team of software developers who thrive on solving challenging problems.

A day in the life
As a Software Engineer on the Network Spatial Data(NSD) team you will build software that will allow AWS to understand, build and improve the reliability of the physical AWS network. NSD customers need this geospatial data to visualize a network that crosses the entire planet, identify where in the real world availability risk lies and to plan exponential network growth. This is a great opportunity to work full stack from geospatial visualization UIs, down through the big data services used to detect real-world anomalies. Work in an agile, startup-like development environment, where you are always working on the most important stuff.

About the team
We provide authoritative geospatial data, and physical risk analysis services for our customers to efficiently and reliably plan, build, and operate the AWS physical network. We are nimble and passionate about geospatial systems and building software at Amazon scale. Our product is full-stack covering global visualization of the Amazon network, down through APIs, search services and export functionality. This role will let you guide the product evolution, while touching the entire stack.
