Job Description

The AWS Mobile team is continuously innovating and expanding our mobile services to enable developers to quickly build, deploy, and manage native, web, and hybrid apps for iOS and Android.

The AWS Mobile SDKs are currently being used by tens of thousands of developers and thousands of mobile apps.
