Alibaba Infrastructure Operations Team

A critical component of a leading global technology enterprise's infrastructure strategy. Our mission is to ensure the highly efficient, stable, and secure operation of the operational environment across the Globe. We are dedicated to delivering "last mile customer value" from our operational facilities, providing a seamless, reliable, and highly efficient service experience.

Job Responsibilities

  • Drive the end-to-end rollout of the colocation management standard across the facilities under your remit, covering eight dimensions — Equipment, Personnel, Monitoring, Emergency Response, Drills, Change, Maintenance, and Flying-Inspection Risk — each executed against its tiered requirements. Apply rigorous project management to translate every requirement into project plans, milestones, and acceptance criteria, and track each gap to closure as a managed deliverable.
  • Lead the EMS (Environment Monitoring System) data-integration project in accordance with the applicable integration standard. Leveraging solid expertise in infrastructure facilities and low-voltage / ELV systems (monitoring, BMS, automation controls), manage the full lifecycle of data-point mapping, connection, validation, and ongoing maintenance to ensure full-scope, accurate telemetry into the monitoring platform — including IT room temperature/humidity, busway and rack power consumption, and the status, alarm, setpoint, and log values of all route-related equipment (dedicated and shared) affecting the rooms. For new architectures or devices not covered by the standard, drive integration following the same principle.
  • Partner closely with the local operations teams and the engineering delivery teams, providing professional project management and technical support. Drawing on strong vendor-negotiation and program-management skills, align and negotiate scope, standard compliance, SLAs, and remediation items with colocation providers and platform vendors; coordinate internal engineering, colo teams, and vendors through project plans, RACI, risk/issue logs, and delivery cadence to drive milestones to closure across multiple stakeholders and geographies.
  • Lead the review and validation of the electrical, HVAC, and low-voltage / ELV automation control logic (including BMS networks, monitoring, and automation controls), parameters, setpoints, and closed-loop stability delivered by colocation providers and vendors. Backed by deep infrastructure facility and ELV engineering knowledge, orchestrate technical experts to validate architecture drawings, key-equipment run logic (medium-voltage logic, protection setpoints, cooling control), and redundancy / single-point-of-failure analysis, and sign off through rigorous acceptance testing to ensure production readiness.
  • Build dashboards and scorecards for standard compliance and EMS integration health, report progress and risks to global headquarters, and drive data-based continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate with global headquarters on standards evolution and platform roadmap, adapt global policies to the local context, and build regional capability through training, certification, and knowledge transfer.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
