AWS is building the infrastructure that powers the worlds most critical workloads - and doing it at a scale that is reshaping electricity markets across the Americas.
As a Grid Code Compliance Manager on the AWS Energy Infrastructure, you will own the Americas grid code compliance monitoring and serve as AWSs subject matter expert on grid integration policy across major ISOs and RTOs with the opportunity to influence data center designs. This role develops strategies for data center capacity growth in coordination with utility infrastructure timelines.
AWS operates mission-critical workloads including healthcare systems, emergency services, financial services, and essential business operations that require continuous, reliable power and cannot be interrupted. The focus is on bringing facilities online progressively as grid infrastructure becomes available and while grid codes are evolving, rather than waiting for full build-out completion.
You will translate fast-moving regulatory and market developments - from PJMs Expedited Interconnection Track (EIT) and behind-the-meter (BTM) generation reforms to ERCOTs Batch Zero process, emerging operating NERC standards for large loads and Auction (RBA) proposals - into interconnection strategies that protect AWSs ability to energize at scale, on schedule, and at competitive cost. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role at the intersection of power systems engineering, regulatory strategy, and hyperscale infrastructure planning.
