Amazon is seeking an Optical Planning Network Development Engineer to support the design, planning and capacity expansion of large-scale optical networks in Ireland. The role typically requires a degree or equivalent experience in telecommunications, optical networking, electrical engineering or a related technical discipline, along with experience in network planning, fiber-optic systems, transport technologies, capacity modelling and technical documentation. Candidates should be comfortable analysing demand forecasts, developing scalable network solutions, working with suppliers and cross-functional engineering teams, and using data to guide investment decisions. Strong communication, problem-solving and project-management skills are expected, together with the ability to work independently in a fast-moving, globally distributed environment.

Founded in 1994, it serves customers and businesses worldwide through platforms such as Amazon.com and Amazon Web Services.

Amazon invests heavily in data centres, fiber infrastructure and high-capacity optical networks, making network engineering an important part of its ability to deliver reliable, low-latency services. The company is known for its customer-focused culture, data-driven decision-making and leadership principles, including ownership, invention and a high standard of operational excellence. Teams are generally fast-paced and collaborative, with engineers expected to solve complex problems and deliver systems that operate at global scale.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in technology, cloud infrastructure, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, finance and international business, particularly around Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. The country has a friendly, social culture, English as the main working language and a well-known pub, music and festival scene. Coastal landscapes, historic towns and compact travel distances make it easy to explore the island, although weather is often cool and wet. Dublin has the largest technology job market but also the highest housing costs; Cork and Galway can offer a quieter lifestyle, though rental availability should be checked carefully. Non-EU/EEA nationals generally need an employment permit and permission to reside, with eligibility depending on the role, salary and occupation. Employers may support permits and relocation, but candidates should confirm immigration, tax, healthcare and housing arrangements before moving.
