Your broad responsibilities will include: owning the technical engagement and ultimate success around specific implementation projects; defining implementation architectures, responding to RFPs, developing a deep expertise in the AWS technologies as well as broad know-how around how applications and services are constructed using the AWS platform; and being a subject matter expert on security as it relates to customer applications and services.

You will work with customers and other AWS team members to solve problems such as scale, or adapting existing solutions for new ways of learning. The AWS Cloud provides the flexibility and agility needed to experiment; you get to help our customers realize their potential.
