Data Center Cluster Operations Leader, AWS Data Centers

Amazon • Benton, LA • 5h ago

Description

The Cluster Operations Leader manages Amazon Data Center Clusters and Colocation Operations within their assigned region. As the senior Infrastructure Operations leader, they oversee safety, security, availability, scaling, efficiency, and cost management.

Infrastructure Operations consists of two core functions: Data Center Operations (DCO) and Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO). DCO manages server-level platforms supporting Amazon Retail and Amazon Web Services, while DCEO handles mechanical, electrical, and controls systems for critical environments. We seek a leader with experience on both DCO and DCEO systems. Though operating independently, a physical security team works closely with these functions to protect people, assets, and customer data.

The Cluster Operations Leader builds and leads high-performing teams across these functions. They manage daily operations while applying technical expertise to address emerging challenges. Their role requires both strategic oversight and the ability to dive deep into specific issues.

As a vital member of the management team, the Cluster Operations Leader helps scale the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure. The position demands innovation to solve complex daily challenges and drive operational excellence. Success in this role requires strong technical knowledge on both engineering (electrical and mechanical) and compute systems, process optimization skills, and dedication to achieving world-class operational performance.
