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 Data Center Field Engineering Team is the engineering owner for the lifecycle of AWS data centers. This includes supporting new designs/innovations through data center end-of-life, with a focus on root cause analysis of failures, capacity and availability improvement, and optimization of the existing fleet.

As a Field Engineering Program Manager I, you are highly organized, detail-oriented, and an effective communicator, both written and verbally. You will support multi-discipline engineering teams by managing administrative workflows, processes, smooth coordination of tasks that arise from investigations and solutions developed by Field Engineers. You will serve as the connective tissue between engineering outputs and the operational mechanisms needed to drive them to resolution and long-term scalability.

You will work closely with Field Engineers, operations staff, and cross-functional partners to ensure that action items, process workflows, and team ownership are clearly identified, documented, and tracked. You must be skilled at asking relevant questions, gaining alignment from the right stakeholders, and driving clarity where processes or ownership are undefined. You must possess strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build effective working relationships across teams.

Key job responsibilities

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Ensure completion of workflows and action items resulting from Field Engineering investigations and solutions.
  • Ask the right questions across teams to gain alignment on process ownership, and establish scalable, repeatable workflows so recurring issues have a defined resolution path.
  • Coordinate administrative tasks across multiple engineering disciplines, ensuring items are routed to the appropriate teams and tracked to completion.
  • Maintain and update tracking tools, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms to provide visibility into task status and program health metrics.
  • Support Field Engineers by handling process-related follow-ups, documentation, and coordination so they can focus on technical work.
  • Document and improve team mechanisms - including intake processes, SOPs, runbooks, and onboarding materials - identifying gaps or unclear ownership and escalating for alignment.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

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

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
