Description

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on 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.

Amazon is looking for a motivated, customer-obsessed and open-minded procurement intern to work within our Data Center Sourcing & Procurement team based in Singapore. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the Data Center industry, working alongside AWS infrastructure teams and service vendors across the Asia region. Our team ensures availability of 3rd party resources to perform services to the highest safety & quality standards in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.

The ideal candidate is eager to learn, detail-oriented, and able to support multiple initiatives simultaneously. You should be collaborative, analytical, and demonstrate strong curiosity about procurement processes. This is an excellent opportunity to develop foundational skills in strategic sourcing, supplier management, and data center operations.

We welcome candidates from various backgrounds including engineering, business, commerce, or other vendor-facing roles who are eager to learn about data center procurement.
