We work on one of the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

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.

We are looking for a Data Center Operations Technician (Rack Decommissioning Data Technician) to join our growing team in South Africa, Cape Town. The Data Center Operations team that includes the rack decommissioning members are responsible for processing and facilitating large scale legacy Data Center equipment through a liquidation process to ensure that targeted equipment is ready to be removed from our facilities in South Africa. Team members will also process large volumes of media containing customer data to ensure that all customer data is sanitized and protected.

You will work in a team environment collaborating with other teams, which requires strong communication skills. Amazon Data Centers treat customer data with the utmost importance; selected candidates must be able to perform repetitive tasks without variance and adhere to strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) that ensure customer data is protected and handled properly.

Key job responsibilities

  • Execute data sanitization procedures following established protocols
  • Collaborate with team members on equipment handling and processing
  • Document and track hardware movement through digital systems
  • Maintain accurate records of decommissioned equipment
  • Support safe handling and transportation of data center equipment (up to 18kg and participate in team lifts of 23+ kg)

A day in the life

A Rack Decomm technician begins their shift at the AWS data center by reviewing the day's decommissioning queue and safety protocols. Their morning involves identifying targeted legacy racks and verifying documentation. Co-ordinate with the facilities teams to complete power isolation, they coordinate with other teams to verify network disconnections, ensuring proper decommissioning sequences while adhering to strict service level agreements (SLAs).

Throughout the day, they methodically dismantle server racks, following strict SOPs for handling sensitive customer data. This includes properly tagging components and documenting serial numbers. They coordinate with team members for heavy lifting requirements and ensure media sanitization protocols are followed within prescribed timeframes.

The afternoon typically involves processing equipment for liquidation, maintaining detailed inventory records. They regularly communicate with other teams to coordinate rack removal logistics and verify all safety and security procedures are met, ensuring all decommissioning SLAs and project milestones stay on track.
