You will partner with all the AWS service teams, including EC2, RDS, Direct Connect, Lambda, SageMaker, Redshift, etc. to identify key best practice checks and formulate a company-wide program to on-board these checks to Trusted Advisor. Additionally, you will collaboate with customer account and support teams including Technical Account Managers, Solution Architects, Cloud Support Engineers, etc. to codify their expertise and knowledge about customers and AWS service into best practice checks that can be deployed at AWS scale.

The Team:

We have unfettered curiosity and drive to help build “best in the world” support experiences that customers will love! We are inventing and designing tech that will directly impact every customer across all AWS services. Our industry-leading technology cuts across a wide range of ML techniques from Natural Language Understanding to Deep Learning. Our team packs a punch with principal level engineering, science, product, and leadership talent. We combine the culture of a startup, the innovation and creativity of an R&D Lab, the work-life balance of a mature organization, and technical challenges at the scale of AWS. We offer a playground of opportunities for builders to build, have fun, and make history!
