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.

The Data Center Capacity Delivery Asia-Pacific Controls Deployment and Service (DCCD APAC CDS) team delivers and services the control systems which monitor and ensure the health of our data centers. APAC CDS' mission is to safely provide our customers with the unmatched reliability, security, and performance that AWS is known for. APAC CDS covers three core disciplines of deployments (of control systems in new data centers), projects (of controls capital improvement works at live data center sites), and service (of control systems at live data center sites), with additional specializations in the disciplines of colocated sites, systems engineering, controls fleet, on-call support (of data center control systems in the Americas (AMER), Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), as part of a global "follow-the-sun" support arrangement), and governance.

As Amazonians, we work in a competitive environment. Our customers are always beautifully, wonderfully dissatisfied. Being successful in our roles is not just about doing our jobs well, but also evolving and innovating. Change is the only constant, and applies to our customers, our roles, our team organization, our tools, and our mechanisms.

To be successful in this team, you will also have:

• Ability to thrive at the pace and scale of Amazon
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple competing priorities
• Ability and willingness to collaborate with peers around the globe, which may involve some participation in meetings at odd hours
• Ability and willingness to travel domestically or globally as and when needed

Amazon's Controls Deployment and Service (CDS) Systems Engineers are responsible for the scaling and maintenance of the Amazon Control Systems across our global data center infrastructure. As a Systems Engineer in the APAC CDS team, you will play a critical role in deploying, configuring, and troubleshooting the various components that make up the Control Systems architecture. This includes configuring device settings, diagnosing technical issues, deploying software changes, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the successful operation of Amazon Control Systems across our data centers. You will also contribute to the continuous improvement of Amazon Control Systems support practices. You will work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, leveraging your strong technical skills and problem-solving abilities to keep our critical infrastructure running smoothly.

If you're a self-motivated, adaptable engineer who thrives on tackling complex challenges, this is an excellent opportunity to make a direct impact on the reliability and scalability of Amazon's global data center operations.
