About the team
Our team is small and motivated. We come from diverse backgrounds, but what we all have in common is a huge curiosity, a passion for delighting our customers, and a desire to deliver technology that transforms their business. What’s it like to work at AWS? Our team experiences high levels of collaboration, lots of multi-tasking, and often course corrections or new ideas that mean adaptability is key. We find creative and scalable solutions to our customers’ difficult problems, and we own delivering those outcomes to the customer. We are also a geographically-distributed team, which means you will need to possess a high bias for taking action without immediate team consensus.
