Global Technical Lead - Blockchain

AWS is one of Amazon’s fastest growing businesses, servicing millions of customers all over the world, reshaping the way global enterprises consume information technology, and powering the developers who are building the next generation of global industry leaders. AWS customers include some of the most innovative startups like Netflix, Airbnb and Instagram, as well as some of the largest global enterprises like Shell, Unilever, Hitachi, Sharp, and Samsung.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a blockchain-focused Global technical Lead to build an ecosystem of partners with solutions that span a broad portfolio of blockchain services. This is a hands-on, highly technical position for someone who can dive deep, build complex AWS-optimized architectures, and develop a long-term strategy with AWS business development and service teams.

You must have deep technical experience working with technologies related to blockchain. You must have a strong understanding of the fundamentals of the technology, including concepts like distributed consensus, fault tolerance, and protocols. Familiarity with implementation details for deployed solutions, as well as specific use-cases like supply chain management, secure data sharing, and payments is essential. You must be familiar with the community of solution providers, software vendors, consultants, and others working in the blockchain space, and you will leverage this knowledge to help us decide where AWS should invest from a partnership and product perspective.

You must have great communication skills and be very technical, with the ability to impress AWS customers at any level, from executive to developer. Previous experience with AWS is desired but not required, provided you have experience building solutions that run in virtualized environments. You will get the opportunity to work directly with senior engineers at both top software vendors and AWS service teams, influencing their roadmaps and driving innovation.
This position can be based in any major US city where AWS has significant operations. Relocation assistance offered internationally.

Up to 20% travel is typical for this role.
