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.

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network that securely delivers videos, live streams, web content, applications, and APIs globally with low latency and high transfer speeds in a developer-friendly environment. Together with AWS Global Accelerator (AGA) for optimized traffic routing, AWS WAF for web application protection, and AWS Shield for DDoS defense, these services provide a comprehensive content delivery solution.

The CloudFront, AGA, WAF, and Shield consoles serve as the primary customer entry points, driving adoption and helping customers explore capabilities and visualize operations. Our team works closely with UX, Product Management, and engineers across control and data plane teams to solve customer problems and ensure seamless feature integration.

As part of the developer experience team, you"ll be integral to the early planning stages of what our team delivers. You"ll not only be expected to write code, but also provide your perspective as a developer into improving the experience of our services for other developers.
