About the position
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.

And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion. This team within the Global Capacity and Infrastructure Development Organization builds tools to improve the velocity of the acquisition and deployment of AWS network infrastructure across the globe. We are looking for an engineering leader with strong computer science fundamentals, including UX design, data structures, object-oriented design, algorithm design, problem solving, and complexity analysis. You should have experience leading large scale engineering efforts that span multiple teams, mentoring junior engineers, and setting the engineering and architecture vision for your team.
