GridCodeComplianceManager

AWS is building the infrastructure that powers the world's most critical workloads — and doing it at a scale that is reshaping electricity markets across the Americas. As a Grid Code Compliance Manager on the AWS Energy Infrastructure, you will own the Americas grid code compliance monitoring and serve as AWS's subject matter expert on grid integration policy across major ISOs and RTOs with the opportunity to influence data center designs. This role develops strategies for data center capacity growth in coordination with utility infrastructure timelines. AWS operates mission-critical workloads including healthcare systems, emergency services, financial services, and essential business operations that require continuous, reliable power and cannot be interrupted. The focus is on bringing facilities online progressively as grid infrastructure becomes available and while grid codes are evolving, rather than waiting for full build-out completion. You will translate fast-moving regulatory and market developments — from PJM's Expedited Interconnection Track (EIT) and behind-the-meter (BTM) generation reforms to ERCOT's Batch Zero process, emerging operating NERC standards for large loads and Auction (RBA) proposals — into interconnection strategies that protect AWS's ability to energize at scale, on schedule, and at competitive cost. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role at the intersection of power systems engineering, regulatory strategy, and hyperscale infrastructure planning. Key job responsibilities - Own grid code compliance monitoring across all AWS data center interconnection projects in the Americas, tracking changes to utility interconnection rules, ISO/RTO protocols, NERC standards, and state PUC rulemakings that affect large load interconnection across ISO/RTOs - Serve as the internal SME on grid integration policy across major ISOs and RTOs, including expedited interconnection processes, behind-the-meter generation rules and associated regulatory filings
