About the role
Amazon's Cross Channel Marketing team (XCM) is seeking a Infrastructure Manager to own the systems behind our content platforms, serving marketing, campaign, creative, design, and production. This includes a dedicated AWS environment supporting petabyte-scale storage across multiple tiers, high-performance shared filespace supporting creative production, and the compute and automation that keep it running. This role administers those systems, automates their operation, and extends them to support new integrations with the third-party platforms our teams depend on.
The work spans storage lifecycle, backup, recovery, and continuity planning, identity and access management, and the single sign-on and credential lifecycle behind every third-party platform in the estate. This role automates that administration wherever it can, and maintains the ownership, monitoring, and support structures that keep these systems supportable as the environment grows. It also helps shepherd new tools through Amazon security review and keeps tools already in use compliant as requirements change.
We are looking for a hands-on administrator who thinks in systems and would rather automate an operational burden than absorb it. Curiosity about AI as a working tool is expected, both in applying it to infrastructure automation and in judging where it belongs. Understanding the pace and scale at which marketing and production teams work matters as much as infrastructure depth. Ambiguity is constant here: inherited systems, incomplete documentation, and dependencies that sit with vendors and internal security, identity, and tech partners.
Key job responsibilities
- Manages the AWS environment behind our content platforms, and evolves it as new workloads and integrations arrive
- Designs storage tiering and lifecycle policy across petabyte-scale content and multiple systems, determining what lives where and why
- Owns high-performance shared storage, backup, and archive across creative production and digital asset management
- Automates administration of these systems so the environment scales without adding manual work
- Maintains identity, access, and security compliance across the third-party platform estate, including single sign-on, credential lifecycle, and platform security review
- Establishes and maintains operational standards for these systems, covering ownership records, monitoring, alerting, and support processes
- Builds and secures the infrastructure new integrations run on, including credential storage and access paths for AI and third-party services
- Represents our content platform systems to other XCM technology teams, partners across Amazon, and third-party providers, so integrations are well designed and ownership is clearly defined
