## Description

Want to help plan, build, and deliver one of the world's most secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platforms? AWS Infrastructure Services is seeking a passionate, talented, and proven leader to join the Global Network Delivery team and drive systematic improvements in network capacity delivery across our inter-datacenter infrastructure.

As the Principal Technical Program Manager for Inter-Datacenter Network Capacity Delivery, you are responsible for owning the end-to-end program to systematically reduce defects and improve reliability across the network capacity delivery lifecycle. This role addresses the critical challenges of delivery unconstrained bandwidth to support rapid customer growth.

Job responsibilities include establishing and driving the capacity delivery reliability program for new datacenter spans and scaling bandwidth between existing datacenters. You will define and track input and outcome metrics spanning project planning, dependencies accuracy, initiation, hardware delivery timeliness, position readiness, cabling reliability, and end-to-end lead time reduction. Key programs include implementing process instrumentation to identify defect sources, establishing root cause analysis frameworks, and driving cross-functional initiatives to address systemic issues. You will partner with planning automation teams to increase forecast accuracy and reduce planning bugs, work with supply chain organizations to improve supportability signal integration, and collaborate with infrastructure teams to implement systems that preserve design intent and eliminate data loss between systems.
