Manage a team that maintains cloud infrastructure for global data center operations!
AWS is 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.
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 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 successful candidate will be operationally responsible for a Data Center. Some high-level responsibilities include:
- Prioritize and assign trouble tickets to data center technicians and operators
- Manage the performance of a diverse team(s) of data center operation professionals with varying skills across different locations
- Developing Career Paths for the employees and making updates in our internal tools.

- Ensure effective and efficient management of day-to-day data center operations including queue management, 7/24 shift arrangement and hardware logistics
- Fast learn or act as the subject matter expert across all aspects in data center operations
- Ensure all operational KPIs and metrics are being measured and met
- Inspire and guide improvement in team process, technology innovation and automation
- Manage Large Scale Events (outages) and act as the call leader
- Manage and improve the workflows and through-put for data centers operations
- Recommend, document, and oversee policies and procedures to meet industry best practices and to meet required SLAs
- Maintain the on-call schedule coordinating absence and vacations
- Be passionate about the quality and quantity of services being provided, and continuously strive to improve our Customer Experience
This role supports data centers in various operational stages. The position may be assigned to a facility still under development, which could require travel to established locations for training until your designated site becomes fully operational.
Essential Requirements:
- Ability to travel to or commute between data center locations as needed
- Willingness to temporarily work at alternative sites during training periods or until assigned facility is operational
- Travel frequency will vary based on business needs and operational status of assigned facility

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Data Center Manager
Match your credentials to SOC codes
Data Center Manager roles typically file under SOC 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers). Confirm your degree field and job duties align with this classification before applying, since PERM filings are audited against DOL occupational definitions.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating offers
Use the OFLC Wage Search to find the prevailing wage for your target metro area. Your offered salary must meet or exceed the Level I–IV wage DOL assigns, and accepting below that level will cause your LCA to fail.
Target employers with existing PERM infrastructure
Large colocation providers, hyperscale cloud operators, and enterprise IT departments file PERM petitions regularly and have established immigration counsel. Smaller managed-service firms may need significant internal education before initiating a sponsorship process.
Find green-card-sponsoring employers through Migrate Mate
Search Migrate Mate to filter Data Center Manager openings by employers with active EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, so you focus your applications on companies already set up to file PERM on your behalf.
Document your technical certifications for the I-140
Cisco, VMware, and CompTIA certifications reinforce the specialty occupation argument in your I-140 petition. Gather official certificates, exam transcripts, and CE records now; USCIS may request these during RFE review.
Understand EB-3 vs EB-2 filing implications for your background
If your role requires only a bachelor's degree, expect EB-3 filing. Roles requiring an advanced degree or a bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience may qualify for EB-2, shortening the wait for most countries outside India and China.

Find Data Center Manager JobsData Center Manager Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Data Center Manager role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Both categories can apply depending on the position's requirements. EB-3 covers roles requiring a bachelor's degree, while EB-2 applies when the job requires an advanced degree or when you hold a bachelor's degree plus at least five years of progressive, specialized experience. Your employer's attorney will determine the classification during the PERM filing stage based on the actual minimum requirements of the position.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B grants temporary status in two-year or three-year increments with no guarantee of renewal, and cap-subject petitions require winning a lottery. PERM-based green card sponsorship has no annual cap at the EB-3 level for most countries and leads to permanent residency. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM plus I-140 approval typically takes one to two years before you can file for adjustment of status, compared to an H-1B that can start within months.
What documentation should I prepare before a PERM-sponsoring employer files on my behalf?
You'll need official degree transcripts evaluated for U.S. equivalency if your credentials are foreign, employment verification letters covering all relevant experience, vendor certification records, and a detailed resume that maps your job duties to the O*NET occupational profile for Computer and Information Systems Managers. Gaps or inconsistencies in this record are the primary trigger for PERM audits.
How can I find employers who are actually willing to sponsor a green card for a Data Center Manager?
Use Migrate Mate to search Data Center Manager openings filtered by employers with documented EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship activity. Many companies are open to sponsorship but don't advertise it in job postings, so targeting employers with a known PERM filing history reduces the time spent in early-stage sponsorship conversations that don't move forward.
Can I switch employers after my I-140 is approved without losing my priority date?
Yes, under AC21 portability rules you can change employers after your I-140 is approved and your adjustment of status application has been pending for at least 180 days, provided the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. For Data Center Manager roles, moving between comparable infrastructure management positions at different companies generally satisfies this requirement, but your immigration attorney should confirm the SOC code alignment before you transition.
