We are looking for a technical leader that can lead the execution of AWS Support's Support API strategy that must be highly scalable, highly available, handle diverse frameworks and integrations, and make it easier for our customers to interact with our Support organization.

The leader should be a strong operator, who is comfortable operating productions systems that thousands of Enterprise and Business customers depend on.

To do so, you should be passionate about improving the AWS customer's support experience and executing on our vision of integrated support.

Projects
