Customers are rapidly adopting AWS as a way to build scalable and cost-effective web and IT solutions for their businesses.

Our Technical Curriculum Developers will have excellent writing skills, a healthy technical domain expertise, and the ability to translate technical processes into easy-to-understand activities/simulations. Additionally, our ideal candidates will have experience developing/delivering training, and above all, a passion for learning.

• You get to play! Dive into AWS technologies and solutions, covering domains such as Generative AI, Machine Learning, Data Analytics, Networking, Security, Migration Strategies and more, to understand the services, and develop effective training for our AWS customers. 
• You get to work across AWS teams! Work with our product managers and other technical leaders, and collaborate with Subject Matter Experts across AWS (including Developers, Support Engineers, Professional Services, and Solutions Architects) to build technically accurate training. 
• You get to make things happen! Whether you’re building relationships with service teams to shape content, or facilitating requirements gathering sessions to define innovations on how training is absorbed, you’ll be a key influencer on how AWS educates customers on services and features.
