    Job Description

    Are you passionate about designing and building the systems that power some of the world"s most critical infrastructure? As a Data Center Infrastructure Engineer III, you will serve as a technical leader responsible for the design, architecture, and continuous improvement of data center infrastructure systems. You will tackle complex, ambiguous challenges that span global teams and deliver solutions with lasting impact on how Amazon operates at scale.

    In this role, you will own the infrastructure architecture for your facilities, driving engineering best practices and setting standards that raise the bar for quality, performance, and operational reliability. You will influence technology strategy, mentor fellow engineers, and lead cross-functional projects that simplify systems and expand their capabilities. If you are a creative problem solver who thrives on turning complexity into elegant, maintainable solutions, we want to hear from you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Lead the design and architecture of data center infrastructure systems, taking ownership of system-wide guidance and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and maintainable across global facilities.
    • Drive resolution of complex technical problems by identifying root causes, evaluating trade-offs and constraints, and implementing solutions that balance short-term operational needs with long-term business goals.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional partner teams and stakeholders to align on infrastructure strategy, lead project and design reviews, and communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
    • Develop and implement new mechanisms that simplify infrastructure systems, improve reliability, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
    • Coach and mentor engineers within your organization, contributing to their professional development and strengthening the team"s overall technical capability.

    A day in the life

    You might start your morning reviewing design proposals for a new infrastructure deployment, providing feedback that shapes the direction of a multi-region project. Later, you collaborate with partner engineering teams to resolve an architectural challenge, weighing technical trade-offs and building alignment on the path forward. In the afternoon, you mentor a fellow engineer through a complex design problem, then wrap up by analyzing emerging data center technologies to inform your team"s long-term strategy.

    About the team

    Our team is dedicated to ensuring that Amazon"s data center infrastructure is reliable, efficient, and built to support growth at a massive scale. We work at the intersection of engineering innovation and operational excellence, designing systems that serve as the backbone of Amazon"s global operations.

    We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous improvement. As we look ahead, our focus is on advancing infrastructure technologies and simplifying complex systems to meet the demands of tomorrow.

    About Company

    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.

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.
