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.

- Set high engineering standards and operational excellence for the team, and help them deliver incremental value to customers by administering agile development process.

- Effectively communicate within your team, with your peers, with senior leaders and with stakeholders. Through writing, you’ll distil and communicate technical concepts and challenges and be willing to argue for the right outcomes using data, conviction and diplomacy.

- Work with other teams and team members to break down complex challenges, iterate on designs, estimate engineering efforts, and create work-back schedules. You will be deeply in the details of any trade-offs between approaches. You’ll be an enabler and a force-multiplier for your team.

A day in the life

You will lead a team of engineers building software that directly supports internal deployment teams and data center operations teams across Amazon's global infrastructure.
