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.

The Data Center Capacity Delivery Asia-Pacific Controls Deployment and Service (DCCD APAC CDS) team delivers and services the control systems which monitor and ensure the health of our data centers. APAC CDS’ mission is to safely provide our customers with the unmatched reliability, security, and performance that AWS is known for. APAC CDS covers three core disciplines of deployments (of control systems in new data centers), projects (of controls capital improvement works at live data center sites), and service (of control systems at live data center sites), with additional specializations in the disciplines of colocated sites, systems engineering, controls fleet, on‑call support (of data center control systems in the Americas (AMER), Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), as part of a global “follow‑the‑sun” support arrangement), and governance.

As Amazonians, we work in a competitive environment. Our customers are always beautifully, wonderfully dissatisfied.

A day in the life

• Join the cloud leader: AWS has the most proven operational and security expertise, and the business is innovating at a faster clip—especially in new areas such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, Serverless Computing, and custom‑designed processors and chips.
• Be at the nexus of action: Your involvement in data center delivery will be mission‑critical to the successful deployment of our data centers. You won’t just be observing from the sidelines; you’ll be representing Amazon, building relationships across a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders.
• Build at scale: Build and operate infrastructure at an enormous scale, participating in Amazon’s global presence.
• Your unique background will be an asset: At Amazon, our ability to innovate on behalf of our global customers and communities is dependent on the skills, perspectives, and knowledge of people from all backgrounds.
