The role is focused on designing and building real-time distributed systems for Amazon CloudFront, specifically in the Routing & Capacity Engineering team. This team is responsible for determining how CloudFront routes traffic across over 400 edge locations, balancing latency, capacity, and cost. The position requires a strong understanding of networking and CDN architecture, as well as the ability to solve complex problems in a fast-paced environment. The engineer will own their systems end-to-end, from design to production operations, while mentoring others and driving operational excellence.
