Systems Engineer, Controls Fleet, Data Center Capacity Delivery

Are you experienced in managing IT systems with a passion for building

highly-available infrastructure at massive scale? Join us in driving cloud

innovation and automation, deploying mission-critical systems that power global

operations.

AWS Infrastructure Services designs, delivers, and operates the global

infrastructure that keeps AWS running. We manage the critical data center

components — from servers and networking to power and cooling — that ensure

continuous service for our customers. Within this organization, the Controls

Fleet team builds and supports critical infrastructure services that power the

world's premier e-commerce and cloud computing environments.

We are seeking a passionate and motivated Systems Engineer to join our team. In

this role, you'll deploy infrastructure, develop automation tools, and manage

large-scale environments supporting data center operations. The ideal candidate

will have a strong Windows Server administration background (Linux experience

also valued), hands-on experience with physical data center infrastructure, and

proficiency in automation and scripting (PowerShell, Python, or Bash).

Experience with AWS cloud services and hybrid infrastructure environments is

highly desired. Strong communication skills, project management aptitude, and

the ability to collaborate effectively with global stakeholders are essential to

success in this role. We value candidates who solve complex technical challenges

through root cause analysis, can manage multiple concurrent projects, and

clearly communicate technical concepts to diverse audiences. You'll make an

impact by deploying and managing critical infrastructure, developing automation

tools and solutions for large-scale environments, supporting hybrid cloud

infrastructure, and driving security and reliability improvements across the

fleet.

You will be working in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift

quickly. You must be flexible and adapt well to a wide range of tasks and

technologies. This role involves participation in a 24x7 on-call rotation and

occasional travel (approximately 25%, valid passport required).

At Amazon, it is expected that your technical knowledge demonstrates both depth

and breadth. Leveraging the strengths of individual team members as peers and

delegating tasks appropriately within the group for long-term projects will all

be critical tasks for this role. If you are passionate about technology, excited

by the prospect of working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, and driven to

solve complex problems, we would love to hear from you.

You are expected to be onsite at a minimum five days a week.
