About this job

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.

You must possess strong technical software background, strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven, demonstrate high impact and influence across teams, and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment. We’re looking for folks who can lead through challenges and seek to shed light on ambiguity. If that is you, Amazon is the place to be as we solve hard problems, make history, and have fun.
