Job description

Description
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a fast paced technology company and a leader in the world of data centers.

The position will help ensure overall availability and reliability to meet or exceed defined service levels of data center operations.

We are currently expanding our infrastructure management team and are looking for technology managers with experience in people management, strong technical understanding and the drive and vision to take AWS Data Center Operations to the next level.

The successful candidate will have experience creating/devising strategies, mentoring people in all levels, sponsoring projects and proposing technical solutions.

All candidates should be willing to work both independently and managing their 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, candidates 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

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
