Data Center Operations Manager, DCC Communities

Identyfikator pracy: 2866772 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a fast-paced technology company and a leader in the world of data centers. The position will help ensure overall availability and reliability to meet or exceed defined service levels of data center operations. We are currently expanding our infrastructure management team and are looking for technology managers with experience in people management, strong technical understanding, and the drive and vision to take AWS Data Center Operations to the next level.

The successful candidate will have experience creating/devising strategies, mentoring people at all levels, sponsoring projects, and proposing technical solutions. This position involves leading teams in hardware and network diagnostics followed by physical repair and includes participation in an on-call rotation. All candidates should be willing to work both independently and manage their teams effectively. Work prioritization, organizational skills, effective communication, and the ability to react quickly are critical to being successful. In addition to strong knowledge in Data Centers, hardware, and network repair, candidates will create documentation, innovate solutions, participate in site-level project work, and fix complex problems within the Data Center Space. This team works in an environment that operates 24/7.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. 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.

6. Act as the subject matter expert across all aspects of data center operations.
7. Ensure all operational KPIs and metrics are being measured and met.
8. Inspire and guide improvement in team processes, technology innovation, and automation.
9. Manage large-scale events (outages) and act as the call leader.
10. Manage and improve workflows and throughput for data center operations.
11. Recommend, document, and oversee policies and procedures to meet industry best practices and required SLAs.
12. Maintain the on-call schedule coordinating absence and vacations.
13. Be passionate about the quality and quantity of services being provided and continuously strive to improve our customer experience.
