In this role, you will serve as the cornerstone of our Basis of Design (BOD) program, influencing how we document and manage technical standards across our global fleet of data centers. You'll work with internal and external teams to define, review, and release critical documentation that guides our infrastructure development. As an owner, you'll ensure our technical standards evolve to meet emerging needs while maintaining consistency across our rapidly growing infrastructure footprint.

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.
