A day in the life
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
About the team
We are part of the AWS Training & Certification (T&C) organization. T&C’s mission is to educate learners on AWS services and best practices. Shared Services provides centralized services and functional capabilities for T&C. T&C offers learning platforms such as SkillBuilder. Our tools and services enable customers to offer, manage, and sell training to individuals and businesses.
AWS T&C - Shared Services team will be supporting the T&C’s long term strategy, which envisions a customer experience where all training modalities—instructor led training, digital learning, video-game based learning, certification prep, exams, etc. are available for purchase by individual and business customers in a central place. This will allow individuals to shop for T&C products in a central cart and for businesses to centrally manage spend and entitlements for T&C products. After first utilizing third-party software and vendors to get to market quickly, Shared Services is now investing in first-party solutions to enable all of the delightful T&C experiences we have in mind for our customers.
Diverse Experiences
Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply.

Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
