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.

compute, and our other service capabilities. Our customers trust us to handle
their data with air-tight security measures, which is something that we

A day in the life

security system checks, including testing access control systems, verifying
camera operations, and reviewing alarm panel statuses.
Throughout the day, they actively participate in operations meetings with the DC

A significant portion of their day involves managing security-related tickets,

The specialist regularly participates in security team meetings where they
review metrics, discuss process improvements, and coordinate upcoming projects.
They dedicate time to administrative responsibilities such as updating security

documenting incidents as needed.
Throughout their shift, they remain responsive to any security incidents or
alarms, maintaining constant vigilance over the facility's security posture. The
