Are you experienced in managing IT systems with a passion for building
highly-available infrastructure at massive scale? Join us in driving cloud
innovation and automation, deploying mission-critical systems that power global
operations.
AWS Infrastructure Services designs, delivers, and operates the global
infrastructure that keeps AWS running. We manage the critical data center
components — from servers and networking to power and cooling — that ensure
continuous service for our customers. Within this organization, the Controls
Fleet team builds and supports critical infrastructure services that power the
world's premier e-commerce and cloud computing environments.
We are seeking a passionate and motivated Systems Engineer to join our team. In
this role, you'll deploy infrastructure, develop automation tools, and manage
large-scale environments supporting data center operations. The ideal candidate
will have a strong Windows Server administration background (Linux experience
also valued), hands-on experience with physical data center infrastructure, and
proficiency in automation and scripting (PowerShell, Python, or Bash).
Experience with AWS cloud services and hybrid infrastructure environments is
highly desired. Strong communication skills, project management aptitude, and
the ability to collaborate effectively with global stakeholders are essential to
success in this role. We value candidates who solve complex technical challenges
through root cause analysis, can manage multiple concurrent projects, and
clearly communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences. You'll make an
impact by deploying and managing critical infrastructure, developing automation
tools and solutions for large-scale environments, supporting hybrid cloud
infrastructure, and driving security and reliability improvements across the
fleet.
You will be working in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift
quickly. You must be flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks and
technologies. This role involves participation in a 24x7 on-call rotation and
occasional travel (approximately 25%, valid passport required).
At Amazon, it is expected that your technical knowledge demonstrates both depth
and breadth. Leveraging the strengths of individual team members as peers and
delegating tasks appropriately within the group for long-term projects will all
be critical tasks for this role. If you are passionate about technology, excited
by the prospect of working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, and driven to
solve complex problems, we would love to hear from you.
You are expected to be onsite at a minimum five days a week.

replacing end of life systems
- Automation & Tool Development: Design and develop automation tools and scripts
using PowerShell, Python, or Bash to streamline deployment processes, improve
operational efficiency, and support infrastructure management at scale
- Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure: Leverage AWS cloud services to support hybrid
infrastructure environments, bridging physical data center systems with cloud
based solutions
- Project Management: Lead multiple concurrent projects focused on
infrastructure optimization, security enhancements, and quality of life
improvements while coordinating with cross functional stakeholders
- Collaboration & Communication: Partner with internal teams including
networking, software, developers, and controls engineers; communicate technical
concepts clearly to diverse audiences across global teams
- Security & Compliance: Implement robust security measures, identify risks,
develop mitigation plans, and ensure infrastructure meets security best
practices throughout system transitions
- Operational Support: Participate in 24/7 on call rotation (primary and
secondary, one week rotations) and maintain availability for occasional travel
(approximately 25%, valid passport required)
