DESCRIPTION
At Amazon, we are working to be the most customer-centric company on earth.
To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people.
Amazon is continually evolving and is a place where motivated employees thrive and where employee ownership and accountability lead to meaningful results.
The Amazon University Talent Acquisition Team is looking for ambitious candidates to join us at the heart of our Public Policy Business.
Key job responsibilities
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.
Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world.
The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around Regions and Availability Zones (AZs).
AWS Regions provide multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability Zones which are connected with low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant networking.
These Availability Zones offer AWS customers an easier and more effective way to design and operate applications and databases, making them more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single datacenter infrastructures or multi-datacenter infrastructures.
How would you like to come be part of the team that builds and procures that low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant network?
We are looking for a highly motivated, commercially savvy Network Infrastructure Business Developer to help grow and scale one of the world's largest and most complex networks.
We develop new and innovative ways to scale and expand our network, while delivering operational excellence to our stakeholders.

By applying a unique blend of industry and technology experience, you will work closely with both external and internal teams to find creative, cost-effective, and often unusual solutions to meet Amazon's ongoing growth and expansion needs worldwide.
