At AWS, we call our employees builders, regardless of tech or non-tech roles. We asked a couple of our builders to share their stories.
Our organization is extremely diverse, and builders with various backgrounds regardless of race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, etc. are working together to operate stable data centers every day. There are 13 Affinity Groups within AWS / Amazon and many of our builders actively participate in them as well.

We also build our relationships through events such as sports, language exchanges, BBQ etc.
At AWS, we are committed to making a positive difference around the world. Specifically in the regions where we build and operate our global infrastructure, we actively engage with the community, providing STEAM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math ) education support and others based on the needs through our program called AWS InCommunities.
