Community and Partnerships Manager, AWS Developer Experience

Full Job Description

AWS Developer Experience is looking for a Community Manager to own the community ecosystem and partnership strategy for the AWS Builder Loft in São Paulo. Builder Lofts are physical developer community spaces where builders come together for hands-on workshops, hackathons, technical talks, mentorship, and networking.

This role is critical for establishing the Builder Loft as a trusted home for São Paulo’s developer community through proactive, structured partnerships and programming that drives sustained engagement and growth.

We’re looking for someone who has the ability to build community playbooks, mechanisms, and scalable frameworks that allow the Loft to operate with consistency and authenticity. You leverage existing community networks and grassroots relationships to multiply your impact.

You will work cross-functionally with Solution Architects, Developer Advocates, Startup Teams, Marketing, and Partner Network teams to build repeatable community development strategies for a rapidly scaling global program.
