Do you enjoy building, and experimenting with a wide range of cloud technologies? Are you interested in sharing your cloud domain expertise, and spreading your passion for these technologies with others?

Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) Training and Certification Team is looking for a Technical Lab Developer to join our team to design and build hands-on labs. Customers are rapidly adopting AWS as a way to build scalable and cost-effective web and IT solutions for their businesses. To do that effectively, they need training to help build their technical skills and develop proficiency with AWS.

The qualified candidate will have experience developing and deploying solutions using cloud-based services, a deep technical knowledge of multiple IT domains, and excellent writing skills. Additionally, the ideal candidate will have training delivery, or training development experience and be able to provide analysis of learning materials from a technical perspective. Software development experience would be highly desirable.

Develop and maintain a cohesive set of real-world, scenario-based labs to reinforce the learning objectives for AWS courseware by offering hands-on learning for students.
Coordinate with the Technical Curriculum Architect to ensure that hands on labs are built for scalability and long-term support.

A day in the life
Every day is a new adventure! You are assigned to work on a specific course or set of courses. The technology you’ll work with will vary based on the course subject matter. Labs often need to have a few resources created before students can begin a lab. You will create templates and scripts to automate the deployment of these resources. You will document the steps required to complete the lab, including explanations. As you build labs for a course, you will collaborate with Technical Architects, Instructional Designers, and Curriculum Developers to ensure the instructional content and the labs are aligned.
