Amazon Data Services, Inc.
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.
The SBN Data Center Operations team is looking for Data Center Technicians to join
our expanding Infrastructure Operations team. Data Center Technicians are the primary
resolver and troubleshoot and solve a range of datacenter infrastructure issues
including, but not limited to: hardware, fiber, networking, and related problems.
If you would like to use IT principles like computer architecture and the OSI model
(Open Systems Interconnection Model) and apply them to finding solutions to problems,
we’d like to meet you. Your work will help to maintain one of the world's largest
information system infrastructures.
Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred
qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply.
If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative
experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the
expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our
working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing
we can’t achieve in the cloud.
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups
foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing
events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity
(CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop
embracing our uniqueness.
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best
Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other
career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded
professional.
