    Description

    You will own the end-to-end delivery of network infrastructure at scale - from customer demand signal through manufacturing, shipping, and site landing - ensuring the world"s largest cloud network gets built on time. This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role where you directly influence whether critical network capacity arrives when customers need it.

    Key job responsibilities

    Why this role:

    You own outcomes, not tasks. CDR operates at the intersection of supply chain, network engineering, and program execution - you"ll drive delivery across all of them.

    You"ll lead through ambiguity. When demand shifts, vendors miss, or builds slip, you"re the one who finds the path forward.

    What you"ll do:

    Drive delivery performance across network rack demand streams (Bricks, Spines, Loose Gear, Scaling, New DC) from order through site installation

    Own stakeholder communication for delivery status, risks, and blockers - proactively surfacing issues before they become escalations.

    Manage cross-functional dependencies across procurement, manufacturing, logistics, construction, and network deployment teams.

    Build and maintain mechanisms (dashboards, WBRs, escalation paths, SOPs) that make delivery health visible and actionable.

    Identify systemic bottlenecks and drive structural improvements.

    Partner with automation and data engineering teams to scale delivery insights through tooling

    What you"ll bring:

    Track record of program-managing complex, multi-stakeholder hardware or infrastructure delivery at scale.

    Ability to synthesize across data sources and present the "so what" - not just the status.

    Comfort operating in ambiguity with incomplete information and competing priorities.

    Strong written communication: you produce artifacts that drive decisions without requiring follow-up questions.

    Bias toward mechanisms over heroics - you build systems that make the next delivery easier, not just this one.

    A day in the life

    Your morning starts with a miss that threatens a site deadline - you assess impact and draft the recovery path before your first meeting. Mid-day, you"re connecting supply chain signals across procurement, manufacturing, and logistics to catch cascading risks early. You prep a delivery narrative for leadership where the goal is zero follow-up questions. You close the day unblocking your team and documenting the pattern so it doesn"t take heroics next time.

    You"re executing today"s deliveries while building the mechanisms that make tomorrow"s easier.

    About the team

    The CDR Networking team ensures on-time delivery of critical networking hardware - racks, optics, and loose gear - that connects every AWS service to the backbone. We operate at the intersection of supply chain, manufacturing, and network engineering, owning delivery end-to-end from customer order through site landing. Our culture is built on transparency, disciplined execution, and continuous improvement. This is not an easy job. Our customers are demanding. The timelines are short. The constraints are real. The means we challenge the status quo, proceduralize what"s repeatable, automate what"s possible, and focus our people on the problems that actually require their expertise. Our mission: rack delivery never impacts a customer commitment date.

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 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.
