You will regularly collaborate with delivery teams and AWS service teams, contributing to governance discussions and ensuring smooth handoffs from presales to delivery. Between customer meetings, you might review a colleague's technical proposal, draft a blog post capturing lessons learned, or explore how generative AI tools can enhance a customer's solution.
