Amazon Web Services (AWS), Arlington, Virginia, United States, 22201
Backbone Network Business Developer, Americas, Backbone Network Development
Application deadline: Jan 12, 2026
Today, 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 out that low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant network?
AWS is seeking an exceptional Backbone Network Developer with strong knowledge of the Latin America (LATAM) region (South America, Central America, Caribbean, Mexico) to help architect and scale one of the world's most sophisticated networks. As a key member of our Backbone Network Development organization, you will drive innovation in network scaling while maintaining AWS's renowned operational excellence. This role offers the unique opportunity to shape the future of global network infrastructure while solving complex challenges at unprecedented scale. You will leverage your technical expertise and commercial acumen to develop creative solutions that support Amazon's continued worldwide growth and expansion. Join us in building the future of cloud infrastructure at AWS, where your contributions will have global impact. This position sits within our Backbone Network Development organization, a team critical to Amazon's global infrastructure and connectivity strategy.
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. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
