DESCRIPTION
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 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.

And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
We are seeking an experienced Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO) Cluster Manager to oversee the operational excellence of multiple data centers within our regional infrastructure. This role combines technical leadership, operational management, and strategic planning to ensure optimal performance of our data center operations.
