Job 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.

Play a leading role in datacenter site

selection and technical due diligence at Amazon. You will lead

technical site due diligence projects, partnering with stakeholders

across the AWS infrastructure organization, to shape the future of

AWS’ infrastructure growth and investments.

You

will play a key role in site selection and site due diligence for

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.
