Describe your experience implementing technology solutions that rely on Amazon Web Services.
"I began working with AWS in 2017. Our architects had been testing various AWS solutions for a few years prior to that, but we didn't begin rolling them in a live production environment until 2017. I was an IT Business Consultant at that time. Since then, I have managed several cloud-based projects that rely on both AWS and Azure solutions.
I have worked with AWS specific analytic and data lake solutions such as Athena, EMR, Redshift, and Quicksight. My teams also use AWS data storage, ETL, and migration solutions. I am looking forward to applying my experience and growing my AWS knowledge if selected for the open position."
The Amazon Data Services program manager works within the Amazon Web Services group at Amazon. While AWS experience is not listed as a key requirement of the role, it is likely that hiring managers value candidates with AWS experience, or experience working with other cloud-based solution providers such as Microsoft. This question is asked in an interview to test a candidate's familiarity with the products they will be working to support and improve.
Remember to thoroughly research the Amazon Web Services product line prior to your interview. Additionally, it is important to research the data and analytical solutions offered by Amazon. It is likely that your interviewers will use terminology related to these subjects in an interview, and your ability to understand and discuss these concepts thoughtfully will improve your chances of being selected for the open position.
