    Description
    We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one.
    Summary
    Every day will bring new and exciting challenges on the job while you:

    Learn and use groundbreaking technologies.
    Apply advanced troubleshooting techniques to provide unique solutions to our customers' individual needs.
    Interact with leading engineers around the world.
    Partner with Amazon Web Services teams to help reproduce and resolve customer issues.

    Write tutorials, how-to videos, and other technical articles for the developer community.
    Work on critical, highly complex customer problems that may span multiple AWS services.

    WHY AWS SUPPORT?

    First and foremost this is a customer support role – in The Cloud.

    On a typical day, a Support Engineer will be primarily responsible for solving customer's cases through a variety of customer contact channels which include telephone, email, and web/live chat.

    You will apply advanced troubleshooting techniques to provide tailored solutions for our customers and drive customer interactions by thoughtfully working with customers to dive deep into the root cause of an issue.

    Apart from working on a broad spectrum of technical issues, an AWS Support Engineer may also coach/mentor new hires, develop & present training, partner with development teams on complex issues or contact deflection initiatives, participate in new hiring, write tools/script to help the team, or work with leadership on process improvement and strategic initiatives.


    Career development:
    We promote advancement opportunities across the organization to help you meet your career goals.

    Training:
    We have training programs to help you develop the skills required to be successful in your role.


    We hire smart people who are keen to build a career with AWS, so we are more interested in the areas that you do know instead of those you haven't been exposed to yet.

    Support engineers interested in travel have presented training or participated in focused summits across our sites or at specific AWS events.
