You'll own the strategy for how we show up in the developer community through content, events, and engagement, and you'll be the connective tissue between what developers (and their agents!) need and what our service teams build.

You'll work across marketing, product, and engineering to make sure the developer voice shapes our roadmap and that our products land with the people building on AWS every day.

As a trusted partner to our service teams, you will play a vital role in facilitating product feedback and insights, helping to shape the future of AWS services. Your ability to build strong relationships and effectively communicate the voice of the developer will be key to driving continuous improvement and delivering an exceptional developer experience.
