Create and update our network standards and ensure that the network is deployed to these standards. Work closely with our automation teams in defining the platforms and frameworks that allow us to scale at unprecedented volume. Create and review documentation and processes regarding network implementation/deployments, recurring issues, new standard operating procedures, knowledge transfer material, etc. Lead design, network/code and security reviews across teams to identify risks and prevent classes of bugs prior to production release. A day in the life Engineers in Corporate Network Engineering have a wide range of responsibilities: we work with internal partners to develop and implement the next-gen platforms and tooling ecosystems to support these platforms, driving efficiency and scalability through the automation of builds, configuration deployment, and the scaling of capacity. As our network is one of the largest in the world, there is no blueprint at our scale, allowing our engineers to develop solutions to complex challenges daily. We encourage durable solutions that look around corners while considering customer needs from cost, performance, and reliability. Our team develops tooling that provides visibility and control of traffic across the network while prioritizing automatic mitigation of events to minimize customer impact. Work in a 24x7 on-call rotation, with ability to respond to critical events. Manage customers during problem resolution and operate efficiently under pressure. Sit at the computer during scheduled work hours with appropriate breaks while maintaining a high level of alertness and attention to detail. About the team As part of the Corporate Network Engineering team, we are responsible for the Edge Network that connects 500+ remote offices to the Enterprise core network and to AWS cloud. We own the network standards, deployment mechanisms, automation, and delivery of large programs, including AWS VPC transit gateway-based networks that connect traditional networks to native AWS. The current edge/CPOP of Amazon office network uses hardware-based Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD), Cisco ASA, and is connected to AWS VPC using AWS Direct Connect and Transit Gateways. The current hardware-based Edge network has challenges to availability, monitoring, and scalability as we grow in terms of the number of offices. We are considering building the next-generation SDWAN solution or cloud-based edge network using AWS technologies such as NAT gateways, ANF, Load Balancers and direct office connections using IPsec or DX site-links.
