You will 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. Key Responsibilities Lead our efforts to engage with developers, understand their needs, and bring valuable insights back to our service teams.

Build strong relationships and effectively communicate the voice of the developer to drive continuous improvement.
