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 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.

We are seeking a seasoned engineer with data center experience to work in the Colocation Design Standards Team. In this role, you will drive resilience, standards, consistency, and constant improvement in our colocation fleet of data centers globally.

This role has global impact. Our goal is to identify the candidate that has well developed data center technical knowledge and ideally coupled with extensive colocation experience. In this role, the engineer will use their subject matter expertise to drive continuous improvement. If you have experience developing global design standards and working within a broad design and construction infrastructure environment, we’d love for you to apply.

Key job responsibilities
As a Colo Design Standards Engineer you will work with leaders and Principal Engineers in our Colo engineering team and in the wider global engineering teams to set and update standards for colocation capacity. You will work directly with our colocation engineering teams in APJC, EMEA and AMER; and leverage global relationships with our colocation partners to deliver against these standards.

* As of right now, we are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations: Australia, Shenzhen and Singapore.

Key job responsibilities
• Develop and maintain global consistent colocation design standards to drive equivalent resilience in colocation data centers to AWS owned sites.
• Support the deployment of new AWS products in colocation data centers in a consistent way.
• Input into global design standards and generational data center template designs.
• Support as required regional colo engineering teams to review and accept proposed changes to the site-specific infrastructure against our data center standards, and document Accepted Deviations when appropriate.
• Work with our global colocation partners to drive consistent standard solutions to expedite review processes and drive cost efficiency.
• Set up global strategies to deploy specific products or designs, and drive key global colocation initiatives.
• Documentation, release and management of design guides, standards, specifications and procedures.
• 25% international travel.
