We are passionate about technology and relish the chances to dive deep and wide within the AWS platform in our quest to delight customers.

Upon successful completion of the internship program, select interns will receive a full-time offer to join as a solutions architect associate (which includes a six-month residency training program, known as AWS Tech U) in 2021/2022, after completion of their degree program.
