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 customer contact channels (e.g., telephone, email, and web/live chat).

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

An AWS support engineer may also develop and train, 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.

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

As we operate on a follow-the-sun model, with Premium Support sites located globally, there is no after hours on-call or mandated overtime in this role.
