The Data Center Engineering team owns the availability of AWS data centers, and has a direct impact on the customer experience. We obsess over customers by developing the most advanced engineering solutions that result in world class uptime, while continuously reducing costs for our customers. Amazon offers a fast paced, fun, and exciting work environment. We continue to grow at exponential rates and are looking for individuals that can support our speed to market, enjoy a challenge, and have a desire for professional growth and continuous learning experiences.
As a Data Engineering Manager you will play a thought leadership role in our team – the team will look to you for advice on analytical and business issues facing them. You work very efficiently and routinely deliver the right things. You will have a org-wide view of the analytical solutions that you build, and you will consistently think in terms of automating or expanding the results org-wide. This high impact role will have an opportunity to lead a team to help design and build our data infrastructure from the ground up, while driving business intelligence solutions end-to-end: business requirements, workflow instrumentation, data modeling, ETL, metadata, reporting, and dashboard development. You are an expert at designing, implementing, and operating stable, scalable, low cost solutions for our end users. The role requires someone who loves data, has strong technical skills, has a strong business sense, and can lead a team to put these skills into action.
The ideal candidate will have a strong bias toward data driven decision making, and building scalable data pipelines and systems to facilitate such decision making. They will be comfortable with ambiguity; able to think big and be creative, while exercising strong judgment and good instincts to be right a lot. They are motivated by delivering high-quality and innovative solutions within timeframes that most think are impossible. If you are excited about leading a team that uses data to look around corners and drive engineering solutions that are the foundation of AWS data centers, this role is for you!
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 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.
