While this potential role with Amazon AWS will require your to be an independent worker that can think on your feet, you will also need to work as part of a larger team that is working toward one common goal. Because of this fact, your interviewer will want to hear that you thrive in an environment where you work with team members from other disciplines than you are trained in. In your example, stress to your interviewer that you have excellent communication skills and that you fully understand that every person on a team plays a vital role in the organization's success.

"Throughout my career, I've always enjoyed working as part of a larger team on the job and this personal enjoyment started with my love of and participation in team sports like baseball and basketball. Growing up playing sports, I learned that each team member brought a unique skill set that could help us achieve our goals. Through a great coaching staff that knew how to make these individual skills shine, this same philosophy holds true for a team that is looking to design a new software system. I know that my skills as an engineer are just part of the final product and I work very well with designers, architects, analysts and sales to help build the greatest system possible."

I have always worked for my current employer. The setting is team-oriented. I am often tasked with something individually and then asked to work on something with another group because of my skill set. In my position, I have been tasked with helping other departments transition into the cloud and to develop strategies and procedures for cloud adoption. I often bounce back and forth between my work and the team's work.

A solid intro! With that said, behavioral and situational based interview questions that begin with 'Tell me about a time...' require a specific story example. The easiest way to frame an answer like this is by using the STAR framework: https://www.mockquestions.com/articles/Master Behavioral-Based Interviews Using The Star Method/
