DESCRIPTION
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a fast-paced technology company and a leader in the world of data centers. AWS is growing rapidly, and we are looking for a Cluster Operations Leader to join our expanding Infrastructure Operations team.
The Cluster Operations Leader is one of our most senior management roles in the data center environment. The Cluster Operations Leader manages Amazon Data Center Clusters and Colocation Operations within their assigned region. As senior Infrastructure Operations leader, they oversee safety, security, availability, scaling, efficiency, and cost management.
Infrastructure Operations consists of two core functions: Data Center Operations (DCO) and Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO). DCO manages server-level platforms supporting Amazon Retail and Amazon Web Services, while DCEO handles mechanical, electrical, and controls systems for critical environments. We seek a leader with experience in both DCO and DCEO systems. Through operating independently, a physical security team works closely with these functions to protect people, assets, and customer data.
The Cluster Operations Leader builds and leads high-performing teams across these functions. They manage daily operations while applying technical expertise to address emerging challenges. Their role requires both strategic oversight and the ability to dive deep into specific issues.
As a vital member of the management team, the Cluster Operations Leader helps scale the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure. The position demands innovation to solve complex daily challenges and drive operational excellence. Success in this role requires strong technical knowledge on both engineering (electrical and mechanical) and compute systems, process optimization skills, and dedication to achieving world-class operational performance.
If you are passionate about Customer Experience, think and act globally and want to contribute to the operational excellence of Amazon.com data centers. This may be the challenge you’ve been looking for!
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 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.
