Description
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 interface with 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 Infrastructure Operations (Data Center) team is the backbone of AWS, supporting the rapidly growing AWS business and customers 24/7. We are committed to maintain the physical infrastructure of AWS, ensuring the standards for operational performance in the areas of safety, security, availability, productivity, capacity, efficiency, and cost.
Join our innovative team where you'll contribute to maintaining and optimizing critical infrastructure that powers digital experiences for millions of customers worldwide. In this collaborative role, you'll apply your technical expertise while working with diverse teams to ensure the reliability and efficiency of our data center operations.
We are a supportive and inclusive team passionate about maintaining world-class data center facilities. Our team values diverse perspectives and fosters an environment where everyone can contribute their unique insights to solve complex challenges.

- Collaborate with data center IT managers and other business leaders to coordinate day to day operations, projects, manage capacity, and optimize plant safety, performance, reliability, sustainability, and efficiency.
- Drive & implement projects to increase current facility capacity, efficiency, sustainability & reliability as well as assist in the design implementation, commissioning and build out of new data center facilities.
A day in the life
No two days are the same in AWS data centres but, typically, your day will include:
- Attending operational meetings to foster awareness of important activities across the Melbourne data centre region
- Mentoring and development of less experienced engineering operations technicians
- Planning and scheduling of maintenance activities for critical infrastructure
- Collaborating on solving complex engineering problems impacting critical infrastructure
- Collaboration with other AWS data centre regions globally
