Description
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure.
In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running.
We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.
We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
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.
We are currently expanding our infrastructure management team and are looking for proven technology managers with experience in people management, strong technical understanding, and the drive to take AWS Data Center Operations to the next level.
You have experience creating and devising strategies, mentoring people at all levels, sponsoring projects, and proposing technical solutions.
You will manage teams in hardware and network diagnostics followed by physical repair and participate in an on-call rotation.
You are willing to work autonomously and manage your teams effectively.
Work prioritization, organizational skills, effective communication, and the ability to react quickly are critical to being successful.
In addition to strong knowledge in data centers, hardware and network repair, you will create documentation, innovate solutions, participate in site-level project work, and fix complex problems within the Data Center Space.
This team works in an environment that operates 24/7.
