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.
Today, Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around Regions and Availability Zones (AZs). AWS Regions provide multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability Zones, which are connected with low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant networking. These Availability Zones offer AWS customers an easier and more effective way to design and operate cutting edge AI applications and Machine Learning databases, making them more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single datacenter infrastructures or multi-datacenter infrastructures. How would you like to come be part of the team that builds out that low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant network?
Amazon Web Services is looking for a highly motivated Manager to lead a extremely skilled multinational team that delivers one of the world’s largest and most complex fiber optic networks. This opportunity sits within our Metro Fiber Commercial and Planning organization. We develop new and innovative ways to scale and expand our network, while delivering operational excellence to our stakeholders. You will have strong ownership of our network implementation strategy and the maintenance of relationships with strategic suppliers to expand and grow Amazon's AWS footprint across North and South America. You will have a history of expanding networks for multiple layers of telecommunications networks, covering outside plant physical construction, financial business case modeling, and experience with direct contract negations. You will have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges, with the ability to knock down roadblocks for your partner deployment teams.
You will work closely with an active team of industry experts to identify and define optimal solutions to Amazon's ongoing needs to connect its data centers. By applying a unique blend of business and technology experience, you will work closely with both outside and internal teams to find creative, cost effective, and often innovative solutions to meet Amazon's ongoing growth and expansion needs across North and South America. The ideal candidate will be excited about the incredible opportunity cloud computing represents and will be passionate about building great teams that deliver high quality services. You will be customer centric and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment that requires strong technical and business judgment and great communication skills.
