Network Development Engineer Intern, 2027 Summer

About the Role

Shape what comes next at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Our engineers work on scalable systems, cloud services, and customer-facing products that operate at global scale. This is an environment where you learn by building. Whether you're creating cloud-native solutions, optimizing machine learning models, or building products that drive experiences for millions of customers around the globe, your work reaches the world, fast. You'll take ownership early, collaborate across teams and disciplines, and grow your skills as you tackle new problems. There's no single path forward here, with a chance to explore different directions and shape your journey as you go. This is where ambition meets opportunity and, where the impact of what you build helps define what comes next, for customers and for you.

An internship at Amazon means real responsibility from day one. You'll build, test, and learn alongside people who want to see you succeed, while making an impact that reaches far beyond campus. Amazon internships are full-time positions, and interns should expect to work Monday-Friday, up to 40 hours per week typically between 8 am-5 pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be communicated by your manager. Interns should not have conflicts such as classes or other employment during the Amazon work-day. Applicants should have a minimum of one quarter/semester/trimester remaining in their studies after their internship concludes.

Start dates for our internships in this posting include the following periods:

• Winter (Starts January/February 2027)
• Summer (Starts May/June 2027)
• Fall (Starts August/September 2027)
