You will be at the heart of latest trends like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), serverless and IoT, helping your customers to leverage state-of-the-art technologies on AWS to innovate and become the next disrupters, like today’s AirBnB, Slack, DoorDash, and Lyft.

A day in the life
A typical day involves engaging with Founders, Developers and the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to discuss strategies for scaling the business.
