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.

You will track and manage water utility monthly operations spend and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements. You will work with engineers, water resource managers and water sustainability leads on ad-hoc requests for tracking water risk and availability metrics, water efficiency, and sustainability data, developing automated dashboards that inform our water business operations.
