Here Are Some Qualities We Are Looking For

• Have a passion for educating, training, designing, and building cloud solutions for a diverse and challenging set of customers which are primarily large enterprises.

• You will engage often in early stages of customer use‑cases and also in competitive situations. Being able to deal with ambiguity, good communication and being hands‑on are important qualities - you will often be the lead technical person in the room and you will be collaborating with other senior leaders from technical and business domains.
• Push the technical bar. You will have appetite and take the initiative to learn new topics and experiment, covering domains such as AI/ML, agentic design, serverless and IoT in an enterprise context.
• Be great fun to work with. At AWS, we have a credo of “Work hard. Have fun. Make history”. In this role, you will love what you do, and instinctively know how to make work fun. You will be dynamic and creative, willing to take on complex challenges and make a big impact.
