DESCRIPTION

As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications that leverage Amazon’s unique experience and expertise. These applications are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through the delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that address enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy rather than build, we become their trusted partner by offering solutions that are effortless to adopt and easy to use.

Amazon Connect is a highly disruptive cloud-based contact center that enables businesses to deliver engaging, dynamic, and personal customer service experiences. Amazon Connect is the result of the ten years of development that went into building the tools Amazon uses to provide its award-winning customer service at massive scale and launching it as a publicly available AWS service. With Amazon Connect, businesses can create their own cloud-based contact center and start taking calls in minutes. Amazon Connect leverages the power of Artificial Intelligence and the large ecosystem of AWS —including Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly, AWS Lambda, Amazon S3, and Amazon Kinesis—to provide a truly frustration-free, easy-to-use, extensible, and natural customer experience. This technology is transforming the industry, reshaping how customers interact with businesses, and redefining how agents deliver service.

We have a rapidly growing customer base and an exciting charter ahead, involving the resolution of highly complex engineering and algorithmic challenges. We are looking for a passionate and talented Network Development Engineer to innovate on the telecom infrastructure, fundamental to modern cloud-based contact centers. This position represents a rare opportunity to be part of a fast-growing business, shaping both technology and product development. You will play a crucial role in developing next-generation telecom infrastructure, owning the design, and delivering scalable, resilient systems while maintaining a constant customer focus.

We are seeking a Telecom/VoIP Engineer with deep expertise in the SIP protocol, networking, and Linux/UNIX systems to support and expand Amazon Connect’s telecom infrastructure. Amazon Connect supports a large volume of concurrent customer calls and active agents using an internally developed SIP-based call center platform. Our technology is unique because we build most of our own equipment. Therefore, we are looking for someone who is comfortable working under the hood of a SIP endpoint system (preferably with hands-on experience) rather than simply configuring a commercial SIP product or handling basic operational tasks. You will join a diverse team of network, systems, and software engineers working to make our telephony platform more efficient, scalable, and reliable.

This team is a great fit for you if:

• You enjoy working in a collaborative, inclusive environment where team members support each other toward a shared goal.

• You are customer-obsessed, eager to work on a service that directly and indirectly impacts millions of users.

• You are passionate about solving real-world customer problems.

• Your curiosity drives you to learn and take on new challenges.

• You want to have fun and surround yourself with highly talented engineers who tackle complex problems while maintaining a strong work-life balance.
