Network Deployment Lead, DC Communities

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on challenging problems with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain and are looking for talented people to help.

About the role

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 across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost. The role encompasses end-to-end ownership of medium to large-scale Data Center cabling deployments—including migrations, new sites, and new regions—from initial cabling planning through installation, validation, and quality assessment.

• Engage external contractors, including newly onboarded cabling vendors.
• Plan and work with a wide range of project stakeholders to determine device and cabling requirements, schedule resources to meet project timelines, engage external vendors, and provide continuous status reporting.
• Install, rack, and stack networking devices; run and patch fiber cabling; and configure devices using automation tools and the command-line interface.
• Validate, troubleshoot, and stress-test devices prior to capacity delivery.

Our ideal candidate enjoys working autonomously, is detail-oriented, possesses strong written and verbal communication skills, and is competent in all aspects of installation and troubleshooting of networking hardware, software, and fiber connectivity. This position requires working with minimal supervision to develop innovative ways to automate and scale our data center deployments as we expand.
