Aws Developer Advocate Jobs (NOW HIRING)

AWS Developer Experience is looking for a Manager to lead a team of developer advocates. This team is responsible for how millions of developers learn, build with, and talk about AWS. 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.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will lead our efforts to engage with developers, understand their needs, and bring valuable insights back to our service teams. You will collaborate closely with service teams, marketing, and solutions architects to shape the critical role that developer relations plays in driving innovation and adoption of AWS services. Your expertise in software development, architecture, and team dynamics will be invaluable as you define our strategy, ensuring that we deliver impactful and relevant experiences to the developer community.
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.
