And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Global Field Operations' mission is to provide the best end-to-end support for all products and services in non-traditional environments globally. The programs Global Field Operations supports bring native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any non-data center facility. Customers can now use the same AWS APIs, tools, and infrastructure across their on-premises and the AWS cloud to deliver a truly consistent hybrid experience. The provided AWS infrastructure is fully managed, maintained, and supported by AWS directly to deliver access to the latest AWS capabilities for our customers.
