You will work directly with their engineering teams and technology leaders to design, operate, and optimize AWS workloads at a scale rarely seen from external customers.

• Make prescriptive recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for large‑scale, business‑critical workloads.

Your day might include an architecture review of a multi‑region design in the morning, a cost optimization deep dive in the afternoon, and a working session with an AWS service team on a customer feature request in between. You will meet regularly with VP‑ and Director‑level technology stakeholders, surface customer feedback to AWS product teams, and help shape how Amazon’s internal businesses adopt new AWS capabilities.

• 3+ years of design, implementation, or consulting experience in applications and infrastructures.
