Full Job Description

Amazon CloudFront is Amazon's global content delivery network, delivering content from 400+ edge locations across 90+ cities in 48 countries. CloudFront accelerates static and dynamic web content, video streaming, APIs, and software distribution for customers ranging from startups to the world's largest media companies. It handles live events at scale (Thursday Night Football, FIFA World Cup, Prime Video) where milliseconds of latency and seconds of availability directly impact customer experience. We are the Routing & Capacity Engineering team within CloudFront. We build the systems that decide which POP serves each request: DNS traffic steering, real-time load measurement, latency-based routing algorithms, and capacity planning. When a viewer in Tokyo presses play, our systems determined in milliseconds which edge location would serve that stream. We operate at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, and data engineering, solving problems like: how do you optimally place traffic when latency, capacity, and cost pull in different directions? How do you react when a network event shifts traffic patterns across a continent? You: - Want to build systems that operate at global scale with visible customer impact - Are comfortable with ambiguity. Problems arrive as "traffic isn't behaving right," not as specs - Are curious about networking, CDN architecture, and how the internet actually works - Think about scale: real-time decisions across hundreds of locations, dozens of signals - Own your systems end-to-end. Design, build, deploy, monitor, improve - Learn fast and help others grow ---------------------------- 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 r
