You will join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You will collaborate with teams across AWS to deliver high safety and security standards while providing ample capacity at the lowest possible cost. We foster an inclusive culture that empowers bold ideas to completion.

Role

We are looking for Data Center Technicians to join our expanding Infrastructure Operations team. Data Center Technicians are the primary resolver for a range of data center infrastructure issues, including hardware, fiber, networking, and related problems. You will be part of the Data Center Operations (DCO) team, overseeing the operation and maintenance of IT infrastructure and hardware for data centers in AWS Cloud regions. You will become the primary resolver for your support team and will gain troubleshooting skills on different hardware and software cases, engaging other solutions groups on more complex problems to drive solutions.

Responsibilities

• SAFETY: Follow and maintain the highest safety standards and actively encourage a world-class safety culture. Own safety initiatives and projects to foster a strong safety culture.
• DATA CENTER OPERATIONS (DCO): Diagnose hardware and network problems followed by physical repairs; troubleshoot events within internal SLAs; perform root cause analysis of equipment failures.
• Manual handling and lifting of equipment may be required (weight limits in accordance with regulations).
• Working rotating shifts (morning/late/night) as well as weekends to maintain the 24/7 data center environment.
• Local travel may be required up to 10% of the time. A valid EU driving license is required as Data Centers may not have public transportation nearby.
