Reimagining the world with generative AI

New technology creates new possibilities—especially at AWS. Our focus on putting generative AI into the hands of our customers enables developers to work closer to the product, at a pace that accelerates the impact of your work. Whatever your experience, you can build a new future at AWS.

For Ellen, the best part of guiding a team is watching them grow

It’s no secret things move quickly at AWS. Luckily Ellen thrives in this type of environment. “One thing I love about working here is how quickly things change. We evolve very quickly.” She carries this philosophy over to how she leads her team. By consistently nudging her developers outside of their comfort zone, she knows they’re growing in their careers. “Sometimes I’ll save conversations with engineers saying ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘this is too hard’ and then I’ll send it to them 8 months later when their project has launched. It’s a really great way to reflect on and celebrate everything they’ve accomplished.”

Odi approaches every day as an opportunity to make a real impact

What keeps Odi interested in his work is being able to build things that makes a difference. “Seeing something you create being used to help a business or industry is extremely satisfying.” When Odi joined AWS five years ago, he was most excited about working with new and experiential cloud technology—tech that other companies weren’t even talking aboutyet. “Developers have so many different options to solve problems because of the innovation happening here at AWS. It’s really exciting.”
