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.
Within Data Center Engineering, the Mechanical Products & Services (MPS) team is driving rapid innovation in Mechanical Cooling and Controls systems used by AWS. Our designs are fundamentally changing the Data Center, providing operational and financial benefits that are critical to the success of the AWS business, and its millions of customers. Our engineers solve challenging technology problems and take big bets on new concepts enabling AWS services to continue to revolutionize the industry. This role provides the opportunity to engage with and lead the Technical Product Management aspect for these advanced cloud infrastructure solutions and the exceptional people that develop them.
Our PMTs work closely with key partners to innovate, create, manage, and deliver world class products to be deployed in our data centers. Our product managers work passionately to define customer requirements, development compelling product strategies to drive business value, and partner with cross functional teams and external vendors to make their strategies a reality at AWS scale!
Our PMTs work closely with key partners to innovate, create, manage, and deliver holistic product solutions, and ensure products are fully production ready at launch. “Production ready at launch” addresses requirements for a product to be viable for global deployment: approved financials, technical specifications and designs, supplier sourcing and qualification, testing, operations training, and similar requirements. We develop the strategy and roadmap for product development to meet or exceed customer needs.
This position requires approximately 30% travel to AWS offices, data centers, suppliers, vendors, and product validation sites. While most travel is domestic, some international travel may be required.
