We develop building systems that deliver a seamless, adaptive, and creative workspace experience to more than half a million employees. Our mission is to create technology that simplifies the processes Amazon employs to manage its corporate real estate.

The main area of activity for this role is to lead the development and integration of intelligent systems that will become the nervous system of the largest corporate building fleet globally. The north star for this team is to establish standards for the operational technology stack in GREF buildings, and deploy it so that Amazon gains better controllership over the environmental conditions of their buildings, utilization modes of spaces offered to users and the consumption of energy and utility billing which contribute to Amazon’s Climate Pledge of becoming carbon neutral ultimately.
