Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon 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 Amazon Cloud infrastructure is built around Regions and Availability Zones. Our 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 data centre infrastructures or multi-data centre infrastructures.

As an FD-TIPM you will be a part of a highly creative and efficient team with diverse backgrounds and expertise, tasked with tackling the most fascinating and challenging problems in modern fiber construction.
