Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a significant footprint in the Portland tech community. All thanks to their acquisition of Elemental back in the day. So I’m always wary of cuts at AWS negatively impacting our community. GeekWire is reporting that AWS is cutting “hundreds of jobs.”
In the Sales, Marketing, and Global Services organization, most of the cuts are in training and certification, and sales operations. The company said it’s shifting its focus to self-serve digital training and training programs run by external partners.
AWS also cited overlap in some program management and sales operations roles.
