Job Description
Join the legal team working at the intersection of environmental law and the world"s fastest-growing AI infrastructure business. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is building the cloud computing and AI infrastructure that powers the next generation of technology-and our environmental legal team plays a critical role in shaping how that infrastructure gets designed, permitted, and operated around the globe.
We are seeking an experienced environmental attorney to join the AWS Legal Regulatory Risk Management & Compliance team. You will focus on environmental compliance and sustainable design of AWS"s global physical infrastructure, advising a rapidly evolving business on how to bring new data centers online responsibly and at pace.
Key job responsibilities
You will be part of a collaborative, tight-knit team that counsels Amazon"s data center business on a range of environmental, regulatory, and infrastructure development matters. Your work will include:
- Advising business and engineering teams on environmental requirements for new AI infrastructure, from site selection through construction and operations
- Developing and deploying AI-powered tools and technology solutions that enhance environmental compliance mechanisms at scale
- Engaging with community stakeholders, regulators, and elected officials regarding potential data center developments and data center regulations
- Shaping the environmental performance of AWS"s global data center fleet through innovative compliance policies and programs
- Monitoring the regulatory landscape, advising the business on upcoming environmental changes, and crafting proactive compliance strategies
- Negotiating commercial transactions with environmental vendors and managing outside counsel
- Handling legal disputes and regulatory inquiries from national, subnational, and local agencies
A day in the life
Your day will blend strategic problem-solving with hands-on legal support for one of the most dynamic infrastructure businesses in the world. You might spend the morning advising on the environmental permitting strategy for a new campus, the afternoon collaborating with engineers on an AI tool that streamlines compliance reporting, and close the day preparing for a community engagement session. No two days look the same.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
