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 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.

Are you excited to prototype and launch customer-facing sustainability products? Do you have experience delivering data-driven sustainability solutions at scale? The AWS Infrastructure Sustainability Tech team is seeking a passionate, results-oriented Sr. Applied Scientist to contribute to the research, prototyping, and delivery of customer-facing sustainability products. The AWS Infrastructure Sustainability Tech organization builds solutions to integrate sustainability data across AWS infrastructure and operations and support AWS customer’s sustainability goals, AWS’ progress towards net zero carbon goal, renewable energy management, and other cross-cutting sustainability objectives. A successful candidate will have high influence across teams and sustainability stakeholders to make strategic trade-offs between short term opportunities and long term customer and industry trends.
You will partner with AWS service, infrastructure (data centers), and Sustainability stakeholders to build AWS Sustainability products and influence partner teams. The role requires excellent communication skills to drive consensus across stakeholders, as well as the ability to thrive in ambiguous problem spaces. You'll partner with various AWS teams to build sustainability products and influence strategic decisions. This high-impact position offers visibility at the highest levels of AWS leadership and the chance to make a significant contribution to our sustainability efforts.

Additionally, excellent communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to translate complex sustainability and energy data into customer-facing products. With visibility at the highest levels of AWS leadership, this is an opportunity to make a lasting mark on our sustainability efforts and help unlock the full potential of the AWS Cloud to enable a low-carbon future. If you are a seasoned applied scientist professional excited to drive transformative change, we encourage you to apply.
