DESCRIPTION Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a technical leader to help global telecommunications service providers and partners transform their businesses with AWS cloud and generative AI technologies.
The problem domains are diverse.

At your disposal is the breadth of AWS, including GenAI, classical AI/ML, edge computing, IoT, and data analytics.

.
white papers, code samples, blog posts) and evangelize and educate about AWS technology and industry trends (e.
.
through workshops, user groups, meetups, public speaking, online videos or conferences).
If you can educate AWS customers about the art of the possible, while challenging the impossible, come build the future with us.
