• develop innovative solutions for AWS’s data centers.

• work on concurrent projects, sometimes in multiple geographical regions;
• initiate and lead engineering audits, including on‑site visits within Amazon’s data centers. Produce reports outlining risks with recommended mitigations and remediations;
• act as resident engineer during new construction projects, supporting construction, commissioning, and turnover.
