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.

This is a unique opportunity to join AWS as a Data Centre Technician in Sydney. You will become the senior resolver for your support team and able to troubleshoot and solve complex infrastructure issues. You will help create and maintain documentation on the technologies you support and be the primary escalation point for junior staff. You know how to innovate and make decisions on your own, but also know how to take direction when it is given, paying attention to all details involved.
