Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a talented, self-directed Principle Developer Advocate to drive adoption and community engagement for Amazon Container Services in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The Container Services team is tasked with building and operating services such as Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) and Amazon EC2 Container Registry (ECR) that make it easy for customers to run Container based applications and microservices in production. In this role, you'll combine your unbridled passion and enthusiasm for developers with your unmatched creativity to generate grass-roots attention and support for container technolgy among developers, technologists, and key industry opinion makers.

· Gaining industry recognition and credibility as a regular attendee, panelist, and keynote speaker at meetups, technology conferences, trade shows and press events
· Delivering compelling presentations, product demos, sample solutions, and discussions to drive adoption of Docker and other container technologies in general, and Amazon ECS and Amazon ECR in particular
· Actively participating in open source projects and being a member of the open source community
· Continuing to identify leads for potential partnerships and clients and assisting with presales support
· Collaborating with internal teams to define the product road map, market positioning, and developer program initiatives
· Creating screencasts, white papers and tutorials about emerging technologies and industry developments
· Maintaining a strong and credible presence in social media and technology channels relevant to developers
· Working with your worldwide counterparts to share best practices and help build a best-in-the-industry evangelism organization
