Data Center Technician

About the Team

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We are the people who keep the cloud running, supporting all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure 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.

You will join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. We collaborate across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. Our inclusive culture welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the launch team for our new Fredericksburg, VA site! You will be based primarily in Fredericksburg as we scale operations. During the initial phase, which could be several months, travel to Stafford, Louisa, and Manassas may be required to support operational needs and training while the Fredericksburg sites ramp up to full capacity.

As a Data Center Technician, you will help ensure overall availability and reliability to meet or exceed defined service levels of data center operations. This role involves in-depth hardware and network diagnostics followed by physical repair, as well as participating in an on-call rotation. You will work on the most challenging problems with a team dedicated to building a strong culture and creating an exceptional workplace from the ground up.
