Description Do you like startups? Are you interested in all things Generative AI? Do you enjoy leading teams and developing people? Yes? We might have just the right role for you. Startups are the large enterprises of the future. These new companies are founded by ambitious people who have a desire to build something meaningful and to challenge the status quo to address underserved customers, or to challenge incumbents. They usually operate in an environment of scarcity: whether that’s capital, engineering resource, or experience. Many of the most interesting companies being created today are at the cutting edge of building Generative AI applications. The AWS Startup Solutions Architecture team is comprised of customer-obsessed technical experts who spend their time helping early stage startups as they build their businesses. The team is here to make sure that these companies can deploy the best, most scalable, and most secure architectures possible – and that they spend as little time and money as possible doing so. As well as working with these customers directly, members of this team also work with key startup influencer and investor groups, such as VC funds, and incubators or accelerators. We’re looking for technical leaders who are passionate about building high-performing teams of customer-obsessed individuals and helping those people with their career development. Your technical background will allow you to lead by example and ensure that you can deeply understand the perspective of your team members and empathize with them. You’ll engage with a host of other AWS leaders as you work with your team members to build plans that define how we will help early stage startup customers. These plans will encompass both one-to-one engagements with specific customers as well as broadening your team’s impact via one-to-few or one-to-many engagements involving multiple customers. You’ll also work with other AWS teams such as marketing and training to define how your team will contribute to scaled activities such as technical content creation or speaking at events. Many of our innovations and product improvements are driven by customer feedback: you’ll also develop and use mechanisms that ensure the insights your team gains from their engagements with customers are delivered to relevant service engineering teams so that we can keep improving our products and make sure they continue to be relevant to early stage startups. About AWS Diverse Experiences AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying. Why AWS? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses. Inclusive Team Culture Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.
