Join our dynamic AWS team and become a critical guardian of global cloud
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
the ability to react quickly are critical to success. In addition to hardware

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.
