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.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) offers a broad set of global compute, storage, database, analytics, application, and deployment services that help organizations move faster, lower IT costs, and scale applications. We are growing quickly and dynamically, including in our global data center footprint. This role is part of the Infrastructure Global Expansion team, which is responsible for our strategy for data center expansion for edge infrastructure.
In this role, you will develop the strategy for growth in key locations for interconnect capacity. You will develop both the business partnerships and technical approach to improve our resiliency, scalability, cost, and performance on behalf of our customers. You will deal with reviewing and selecting data center architectures as well as new network designs. Your key deliverables will be action plans to fix both short-term constraints in a cost-efficient and timely way as well as kicking off long-lead work to enable longer term growth and to optimize our network to achieve cost savings.

A day in the life
Technical Infrastructure Program Managers in the Internet Edge organization have a wide range of responsibilities; We evolve routing policy, implement traffic engineering solutions, grow our peering footprint, secure the “front door” from bad actors on the Internet, and architect the hardware platforms
and network design to support any Amazon product that needs to reach end-users worldwide. Our technical infrastructure moves terabits of traffic to and from the internet at any given moment, and represents one of the largest edge surface areas in the world, requiring complex solutions to ensure that
capacity always stays ahead of demand. To accomplish this, our Technical Infrastructure Program Managers work with a diverse range of partner teams to continually improve and automate our internet connectivity in areas such as capacity delivery, configuration deployment, impairment detection, and traffic optimization. Technical Infrastructure Program Managers for the internet edge make decisions on both a day-to-day and long-term strategic basis, which carry a large amount of responsibility and impact across all of Amazon's products.
About The Team
Within AWS Networking, the Internet Edge organization is responsible for connecting Amazon to Internet. With connections to thousands of unique external networks in hundreds of locations across the world, our mission is to deliver an internet-connectivity experience that sets the global standard for performance, availability, security, and cost, making Amazon the clear choice for customers’ needs. Our team provides high-performing internet connectivity for a wide range of use cases, such as retail (amazon.com), video streaming (Prime Video), content delivery (CloudFront), DNS (Route53), AWS services (such as EC2/S3), consumer devices (such as FireTV/Kindle/Echo), and more.
