Job Description:

In this role, you will build the supply strategy that ensures we can reliably deliver the capacity needed to enable the lowest cost and highest performance archive in the cloud.

You’ll join a diverse team of supply chain specialists, engineers (software, hardware and network), 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.
