3) Customer engagement excellence – trust is core to our brand. Aurora customers love to speak with us about: vision/roadmap, feature requests, support concerns, and generally all things AWS related or otherwise. Our engineering leaders meet regularly with customers, anywhere from small startups to multi-national enterprises. You will find yourself acting as consultant to the technical leadership of multiple fortune 500 companies. You will find yourself on stage presenting our latest innovations at multiple conferences per year. You will establish yourself as a public-facing ambassador for the technology we create.
