WW Tech Leader, Games TFC, AWS for Games

Are you passionate about the games industry and ready to shape how game studios and publishers build on the cloud? AWS is looking for a Worldwide Technical Leader to own the global technical direction for the Games sub-industry within the Media, Entertainment, Games, and Sports (MEGS) organization. In this role, you will operate as the industry domain technical strategist, coordinating with business leadership to translate strategy into community action across a global Technical Field Community (TFC).

This is a dedicated individual contributor leadership role with no direct reports. You will lead through influence, earning the trust of community members across organizations and mobilizing them toward shared priorities. Your work will include prioritizing the use cases that matter most to games customers, organizing builders to create reusable solutions, resolving industry-specific technical requests at scale, incubating technical content, representing AWS at major games industry events, and growing the next generation of games specialists across the field. Success in this role means games customers get the right solutions faster, account teams are equipped to win, and AWS strengthens its position as the platform of choice for the games industry.

Key job responsibilities

• Own the global technical direction for the Games community, partnering with business leadership to align field insights to strategy, prioritizing use cases and customer needs that guide the technical field community outputs.
• Serve as the technical voice of the games market to AWS service teams, product managers, and go-to-market leaders, gathering customer pain points, emerging trends, and competitive intelligence from field engagements and translating them into structured product and roadmap input.
• Drive the creation and scaling of reusable technical artifacts - solutions, workshops, reference architectures, and guidance packages - aligned to prioritized games use cases, and set the quality bar for all games-related technical content published by the community.
• Lead AWS technical presence at major games industry events such as GDC, Gamescom, and re:Invent, owning session strategy, delivering keynotes, and engaging executive-level stakeholders at strategic games customers and partners.
• Grow and scale games industry expertise across the field by packaging successful customer engagements into repeatable solution architectures, sponsoring onboarding pathways, and mentoring generalist solutions architects into credible games practitioners.

A day in the life

You might start your morning reviewing account plans with a regional lead to identify where games customers need deeper technical engagement, then join a sync with service leadership to share field feedback on a product roadmap. After lunch, you could be reviewing a reference architecture that a community member built for a game backend use case, providing guidance before it gets published. Later, you are preparing keynote content for an upcoming industry conference and connecting with an account team to help shape a technical win strategy for a strategic customer evaluation.
