AWS is one of the world’s largest and most highly-available networks, that continuously grows year over year, increasing in complexity and criticality. Scaling the network to meet user’s demand is a unique challenge: Network Capacity Services (NCS) builds the infrastructure to manage the demand forecast and the planning of the future state of the network. We own the software system that predicts future needs, elaborates where new network infrastructure has to be deployed, and builds the plan according to physical constraints. The complexity, size, and speed of growth reflect on the software we develop and operate, which must fit the need of a mission critical function for AWS.

We are looking for a Data Engineer to build the data pipelines and centralised data store for applications within the NCS organisation which supports the scaling of one of the world’s largest and most complex networks. Our customers rely on Amazon’s network for their success and our data engineers supports building a cost-effective and unconstrained network by transforming and ingesting data into the datastore and producing metrics and insights for data-driven network planning. Within the NCS team, you will champion frameworks that empower our internal customers to seamlessly consume network planning data. The ideal candidate possesses a robust understanding of data modelling concepts. Continual acquisition of expertise, iterative approaches, and adaptability are key facets of this role. We seek individuals deeply committed to pragmatic problem-solving and unafraid to pioneer new territories. Your ability to craft extendable designs and maintainable technical solutions while keeping long-term visions in focus will be paramount.

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 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.
