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.
Are you an engineer with a passion for data center design and looking for a
challenge to chart your own course? If so, we are looking for you to help us
make history.
AWS data centers are the foundation upon which our software and services
operates to meet the growing demands of our customers. This role provides the
opportunity to collaborate with business development, design engineers, data

engineering, and operations of infrastructure common to data centers,

could impact a site’s capability or availability.
You will have opportunities to influence standards for data center products,
build and improve processes, and to guide the direction of our colocation data
center portfolio on a global scale. So, if you are a strong leader with solid
data center mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural (MEPS)
infrastructure design engineering experience, Amazon will present a fast paced,
fun, and exciting work environment that is unique in every aspect and offers an
