What Does a Senior Network Engineer Do?
A senior network engineer builds and maintains data communication networks for a company or organization. As a senior network engineer, you have several years of industry experience and lead a team of junior network engineers and network administrators to ensure both the local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) are functioning properly. Your job duties include installing software and hardware, creating a layout plan for cables, and troubleshooting and solving problems that arise with the networks for which you are responsible.
What is the difference between Senior Network Engineer vs Network Administrator?
| Aspect | Senior Network Engineer | Network Administrator |
|---|---|---|
| Certifications | CCNP, CCIE, Cisco certifications | CCNA, CompTIA Network+ |
| Work Environment | Design, implement, and troubleshoot complex networks | Maintain and support existing network infrastructure |
| Responsibilities | Network architecture, advanced troubleshooting, project leadership | Network setup, monitoring, routine maintenance |
While both roles involve network management, a Senior Network Engineer focuses on designing and implementing complex network solutions, often leading projects. In contrast, a Network Administrator primarily maintains and supports existing networks, ensuring smooth daily operations.

DCO manages server-level platforms supporting Amazon Retail and Amazon Web Services, while DCEO handles mechanical, electrical, and controls systems for critical environments. We seek a leader with experience in both DCO and DCEO systems. Through operating independently, a physical security team works closely with these functions to protect people, assets, and customer data.
The Cluster Operations Leader builds and leads high-performing teams across these functions. They manage daily operations while applying technical expertise to address emerging challenges. Their role requires both strategic oversight and the ability to dive deep into specific issues.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
