About The Position

Trusted by more startups around the world, AWS makes the power of cloud
computing accessible for all by giving founders everywhere access to the same
technology that powers the world’s largest companies. With experience gained
from supporting hundreds of thousands of startups that have come before, we help
founders prove that their world-changing ideas are possible, at any stage of
growth or level of funding. This is why more startups, and over 80% of unicorns,
build on AWS.

We are looking for technical builders who love the idea of working with early
stage startups to help them as they grow. In this role, you’ll work directly
with a variety of interesting customers and help them make the best (and
sometimes the most pragmatic) technical decisions along the way. You’ll have a
chance to build enduring relationships with these companies and establish
yourself as a trusted advisor.

As a member of the AWS Startups team, you will work directly with customers to
help them successfully leverage AWS technology at scale.

As well as spending time working directly with customers, you’ll also get plenty
of time to learn new technologies and keep your skills fresh. We have 200+
services across a range of different categories and it’s important that we can
help startups take advantages of the right ones. You’ll also play an important
role as an advocate with our product teams to make sure we are building the
right products and features for the startups you work with. And for the
customers you don’t get to work with on a 1:1 basis you’ll share knowledge more
broadly by working on technical content and presenting at events.

Startups are the large enterprises of the future. These young 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.

The AWS Startup Solutions Architecture team is dedicated to working with startup
companies as they build their businesses. We're here to help them deploy the
best, most scalable, most secure, cost effective and easy to operate
architectures.
