Amazon is seeking an Optical Network Engineer to support border network engineering across high-capacity optical transport systems. The role typically requires experience with optical networking, DWDM, fiber infrastructure, network design, troubleshooting, automation, and carrier or data-centre environments. Candidates should be comfortable working with vendors, managing incidents and projects, interpreting technical documentation, and improving network reliability and capacity. Strong knowledge of optical technologies, routing principles, monitoring tools, and structured change-management processes is expected. Effective communication, analytical thinking, willingness to participate in operational support, and the ability to work across international engineering teams are important. Experience with large-scale networks, scripting, and cloud infrastructure would be advantageous.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company headquartered in Seattle, operating across e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, devices, logistics, advertising, and artificial intelligence. Its Amazon Web Services division provides infrastructure and platform services to businesses, governments, and organisations worldwide. Amazon’s operations depend on extensive data-centre, backbone, optical, and border networks, making network engineering central to the reliability and growth of its services. The company is known for a customer-focused culture, large-scale technical challenges, performance-oriented teams, and structured leadership principles. Employees may work on highly automated systems that support millions of customers and global workloads. In Ireland, Amazon has a significant presence in Dublin and other locations, employing professionals in technology, operations, finance, customer service, and corporate functions.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in cloud computing, networking, cybersecurity, software, pharmaceuticals, finance, engineering, and multinational technology services. Dublin is the main technology hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also have growing employers and universities. Irish culture is generally friendly, social, and community-oriented, with English widely spoken and Gaelic forming part of the national identity. The lifestyle combines lively cities, music and sports with easy access to coastlines, countryside, and historic towns. Housing, especially in Dublin, can be expensive and competitive, so relocation planning is important. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can generally live and work without an employment permit. Non-EEA nationals usually need an employment permit, commonly a Critical Skills Employment Permit for specialist technology roles, followed by immigration registration. Employers may assist with permits, relocation, temporary accommodation, and settling-in support.
