Data Center Manager Jobs in Washington

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 AWS Brick and Network Deployment (BaND) team is searching for a passionate and talented Technical Infrastructure Program Manager to help bring next-generation network hardware to hundreds of AWS data centers worldwide. In this role, you will drive programs across partner teams to strategically plan, develop, and execute the deployment of new hardware technologies into the AWS Network at massive scale. You will work directly with Networking and Infrastructure leadership to define requirements, shape timelines, and drive alignment across organizations. A critical part of this role is the ability to take technically complex problems and distill them into clear, business-level narratives that enable leaders to make informed decisions.
