<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>DESCRIPTION</b></h2><div>
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we&rsquo;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 &mdash; and we&rsquo;re looking for talented people who want to help. You&rsquo;ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.<br>
<br>
Engineers at Amazon work to design resilient, cost effective mechanical distribution systems. As engineers at Amazon we are responsible for achieving a world class uptime for our customers. We justify and communicate the technical decisions we make to Sr. Management and work hard to drive continuous advancements and improvements with our designs.
