infrastructure! You'll play a pivotal role in maintaining the heartbeat of the

world's most innovative technology platform, ensuring seamless data center

operations that power millions of businesses and services worldwide.

Data Center Technicians should be willing to work both independently and with a

team. Work prioritization, organizational skills, effective communication, and

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.
