About The Position

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation

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

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.

Energy Team. In this role, you will drive strategic business development
initiatives, negotiate and execute power supply contracts across AWS regions in
