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.

technical site due diligence projects, partnering with stakeholders
across the AWS infrastructure organization, to shape the future of
AWS’ infrastructure growth and investments.
You

new and existing AWS regions. You will scope the technical studies
and analysis required to appropriately evaluate prospective
datacenter sites, hire and oversee the work of engineering and
technical consultancies, understand the inter-relationships between
technical disciplines, coordinate with internal stakeholders, and
interpret the results of this analysis to make site acquisition,
design, engineering, and technology recommendations. You will
evaluate the impact of identified site risks and constraints on
development costs and schedules.
The right person for
this role will have a strong track record of technical program
management, the demonstrated ability to deliver multiple high
priority projects simultaneously, the ability to drive alignment
across teams with competing priorities, and be a strong advocate
for technical risk management.
