TPM, Serviceability GPO, Availability Serviceability Team

Technical Program Manager

At AWS, we're working to be the most customer centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, smart, and driven individuals. The Data Center Maintenance & Tooling team works with the hundreds of AWS data centers around the globe to deliver the highest quality and lowest cost physical security, availability, capacity, and scaling results for our customers. Our aim is to standardize operations globally by delivering tools, policy, processes, and procedures to our internal teams.

The team is seeking a Technical Program Manager to solve innovative problems via business process and technology innovations. They will be a highly visible leader that will own the communication, coordination, and execution of a multi-year program vision. Our mission is to provide critical data to operators and engineers that enables them to make informed decisions for maintenance of data center facilities.

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.

The Serviceability TPM will serve as a technical resource in the development of maintenance programs for mechanical equipment within AWS Data Centers. This individual will be responsible for driving large-scale global projects and initiatives that directly impact availability for our customers. They will continually improve existing programs, while at the same time solve new problems. The role will require an individual who is comfortable operating in a highly ambiguous space and can deliver and define solutions to problems.

They will be capable of growing and adapting their skill sets as the team scope changes. It will be expected that this individual is capable of writing one to six page narratives on efforts and present, both written and verbal, up to the Director level.
