Job Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a motivated, goal-driven individual to join our Data Center Engineering Operations Team! The Data

Center Chief Engineer serves a key role as a cornerstone of facility operations, supporting Amazon within its owned and operated data centers. All

data center equipment supporting customer services must maintain better than 99.999% uptime. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most

comprehensive and widely adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that's why customers from the

customers have continuous access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other

to own them to completion.
