The role

Want to be part of the team that keeps the world's largest cloud running? As an Engineering Operations Technician Intern at Amazon Web Services (AWS), you will get hands-on experience with the critical infrastructure behind Amazon's global data centers — and your work will directly impact millions of customers worldwide.

This internship is designed as a potential pathway to full-time employment. Interns who demonstrate strong performance throughout their internship may be considered for a full-time Engineering Operations Technician position, subject to available roles and business needs.

About the Role

As an intern, you will provide technical support within Amazon's owned and operated data centers. Your work will ensure that the data center's mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems operate at 100% availability while maintaining first-class customer service to the teams and groups on site.

You will be exposed to both independent work and team-based collaboration. Prioritization, organizational skills, effective communication, and the ability to react quickly are critical to being successful.

From your first day as an intern, you will own real work that matters. You will troubleshoot and maintain the systems that keep AWS running for millions of customers. Your mentors and teammates will champion your growth, helping you build skills you did not know existed — and you will see your work come to life at massive scale.

Impact. Your work shapes the infrastructure that millions of customers rely on every day. From cloud computing to artificial intelligence, the systems you maintain power it all.

Action. You will move fast, experiment, and learn by doing. Your ideas do not get stuck in approval chains — they get tested, refined, and put into practice.

Curiosity. Every project teaches you something new. You will apply what you learned in the classroom to real challenges and explore different teams, technologies, and career paths within Amazon.

Mentorship and career growth. You will start with structured onboarding and get paired with experienced mentors. Beyond that, you will find continuous learning opportunities and the chance to work on different projects. Your journey here is yours to shape.
