Sustainability Scientist, AWS Sustainability
1 month ago
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.
Are you an experienced in sustainability science professional who is passionate about making a big impact? Are you interested in a high impact role at the world's preeminent cloud computing company?
The AWS Sustainability Science team is hiring a Sustainability Scientist. This role will support our Climate Pledge goal of net zero carbon by 2040 by developing scalable methods and models to assess and improve the environmental impacts of AWS data centers and cloud computing services from manufacturing, transportation, use, and end-of-life. This work will drive a deeper understanding of AWS's environmental impacts, and enable strategic management of our carbon emissions.
The ideal candidate will have industry experience in driving Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) of products and services, possess a strong understanding of the GHG Protocol and carbon accounting practices, and have a detailed knowledge of manufacturing, design, development, and/or sourcing. The candidate should be comfortable working with imperfect data, identifying sources of uncertainty, and finding public data to fill the gaps where needed. The successful candidate must have strong analytical skills and the ability to apply systems thinking to complex, fast moving problems. The candidate should have familiarity with LCA methods and applications. The successful candidate will act as a subject matter expert, including designing research, gathering data, interpreting results, and developing metrics and reports. The candidate will coordinate with cross-functional project teams in gathering and analyzing large amounts of data.
Key job responsibilities
In this role you will be responsible for:
* Serving as an AWS subject matter expert in Sustainability
* Developing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies to ensure AWS has an accurate and credible basis for sustainability efforts.
* Developing internal LCA models for AWS infrastructure and services including server hardware and mechanical and electrical systems
* Conducting LCAs including research, data collection, modeling, data analysis, data visualization, and reporting to quantify environmental impacts of our data centers and cloud computing services
* Developing reports, dashboards and metrics which distill complex data into actionable insights to inform improvements
* Building and developing relationships with internal and external stakeholders to drive programs to completion
* Work closely with software engineering teams to drive real-time model implementations and new features
* Having fun and working hard
A day in the life
Each day you will interact with different teams responsible for all aspects of hardware and data centers. Your work will span the life cycle of our operations and allow you to influence how we develop and implement sustainability practices. You will have the opportunity to work on projects locally and globally.
About the team
Why AWS

Here at AWS, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.
