The team sees the big picture and sets the plan so the world’s most customer obsessed technical teams can make history. We pride ourselves on thinking big, delivering exceptional results for our customers, and working across AWS as #OneTeam. Key job responsibilities • Lead technical pre-sales conversations with AWS customers.

That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
