Amazon Data Services Hong Kong Limited · Hong Kong Sar, Hong Kong · Data Center Operations
Full-timeLead
About the role
Amazon Web Services Infrastructure Services team provides comprehensive technical support throughout the design, planning, delivery, and operation of Amazon Web Services infrastructure. We support data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure the customers of Amazon Web Services 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 technical support managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across Amazon and our operating partners to help Amazon Web Services deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for the customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
The Global Network Delivery (GND) organization is hiring a highly motivated Network Deployment Build Lead. You will work with minimal supervision in a fast-paced, ambiguous, and collaborative environment to drive the stability and sustainability of our next-generation networks and to develop innovative ways to automate and scale our network as we expand. The desire and ability to thrive in this type of environment is essential for success.
Your responsibilities will include delivering network builds across several data center locations, project deliverables, and process improvements. You will work closely with both internal stakeholders and external vendors to facilitate smooth execution as directed by Technical Program Managers, the Network Deployment Planning team, infrastructure supply chain and procurement, and the network engineering team.
You must possess a technology background that enables you to understand the complexities of Amazon's data center network architecture. You must be highly autonomous, detail-oriented, and possess strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience in managing network deployment projects. You should also be competent in networking principles, data center operations, cable infrastructure, and fiber solutions.
In addition, this role may require international travel to support other clusters' projects.
