Are you a customer-obsessed builder with a passion for helping the world's leading financial institutions modernise how they build and run software?

You will be a trusted advisor through technical thought leadership, develop reference architectures and patterns tailored to financial services compliance and resiliency needs, and build programs and enablement that scale the broader AWS field SA population. You will also lead an internal community of container subject matter experts and feed customer insights back to AWS product and engineering teams to shape the future of our services.
