AWS GCNA (Global Connectivity and Network Availability) is the backbone that connects the global AWS network. It is dedicated to controlling the internet traffic that allows users to access their information and applications regardless of where they are in the world. GCNA is also responsible for building and designing a complex backbone network that allows internet traffic to flow efficiently between Data Centers and customers.
The Interconnect team is responsible for delivering the interconnect capacity connecting the Amazon network to the internet.
The Interconnect TIPM will support the Interconnect Business Developers (BDs) to ensure that this delivery of capacity is friction-less to both internal and external networks. One form of this capacity is the use of embedded caches which are deployed with ISPs’ networks.
The role of the TIPM includes supporting the coordination and project management with those external ISPs for the deployment of caches. The TIPM is expected to anticipate issues or problems with the wide-scale global deployment of embedded caches with ISPs, including supply-chain, logistics, installation, testing, troubleshooting, documentation, reporting, tools and operations. The TIPM is expected to find opportunities for process improvements and introduction of new tools or automation.
If you like to work with new technologies and optimize existing technology, and have experience participating in network/systems support for a large-scale enterprise or a service provider, we’d love for you to apply! Your work will play a key role in driving the stability and sustainability of next-generation IP networks.

Working at AWS the GCNA Team – Meet Robert, VP: https://youtu.be/8v5i42FL02w
Key job responsibilities
– Own embedded caching deployments from time of contract signing until completed CloudFront provisioning.
– Liaise with ISP and site contacts to gather and validate site information to enable expedient and accurate handoff to CloudFront.
– Manage deployments of multiple caches with ISPs to ensure efficiency and reduce repetition of asks. This aligns with the common approach ISPs take when deploying multiple caches of having a single PM managing all sites.
– Partake in troubleshooting with ISPs / colocation / cross connect providers when installs are not successful the first time.
– Assist CloudFront with break/fix and ISP communications as needed.
– Establish or improve on documentation and reporting.
– Work on continual embedded caching deployment process improvement in conjunction with CloudFront. This includes the development of new tools, new forms of reporting or new processes and workflows.
About the team
Amazon connects its global network to many external networks on the Internet in order to serve content and services for its many customers. This interconnect capacity comes in two forms – through direct peering with the destination network, or through the use of an intermediary network providing transit to the whole of the Internet. The AGIS team is responsible for managing the relationships with all these external networks to obtain the required connectivity in the right locations. Peering relationships are either settlement-free (SFI) or paid peering. The majority of our peering relationships are SFI. Otherwise, the team will enter into commercial negotiations and contracting to acquire the necessary paid peering or paid transit capacity. Additionally, the team is also responsible for negotiating and completing embedded caching contracts to deploy embedded caching platforms inside these external networks.
