This role requires ownership, autonomy, and an ability to deliver results. You should be a self-starter with a bias towards independent problem solving. Clear communication and prioritization will be important as you partner with stakeholders to plan, design, and deliver game changing builder experiences to accelerate innovation. Your passion for improving builder experiences, and proven experience managing complex technology projects, will help you make strong strategic judgments. Your expertise is deep and broad. You start with the customers (builders) and work backwards to develop a coherent vision for services and tools that support the efficiency, flexibility and scale that builders expect from us. This role requires working with builders across AWS teams along with high visibility to senior leaders at AWS. You will be responsible for setting up and driving the goals for AWS Builder Acceleration org and join a select team of innovators creating the next generation of AWS builder experiences that will shape the company's future.

A day in the life
You should have deep expertise in the architecture and business use of AWS technologies. You recognize the transformative potential of generative AI in software development and are excited to pioneer AI-powered builder experiences that fundamentally change how developers write, debug, deploy and operate code at scale. You remain technically hands-on and close to the technology despite your leadership role. You're passionate about developer experience and get frustrated by inefficiencies that make building software unnecessarily difficult. You understand the challenges AWS developers face today and have a clear vision for improvement. You spend time listening to teams across AWS and validating that your teams are working on the right problems, and the solutions meaningfully simplify the AWS developer experience across all teams. You're comfortable maintaining focused scope and saying "no" to distractions, even when they come from senior stakeholders. You recognize that exceptional execution within a focused mission creates more impact than diluting efforts across too many initiatives. You're deeply self-critical, actively seek customer feedback, and are willing to challenge the status quo. You have strong backbone - able to voice opinions confidently, make difficult decisions, and defend your position when working with leaders across AWS.
