Senior Media Specialist Enterprise Account Engineers (M-EAE) work across all AWS Elemental media products, services and CloudFront and apply their product and domain expertise to key customer projects, during the specification, development, deployment and acceptance phases of projects to deploy enterprise video workflows. Along with a Media Specialist TAMs, the M-EAE role assists in driving long-term success for key enterprise accounts. The M-EAE develops deep technical knowledge on the operational aspects of customer workflows, providing proactive guidance on best practices to help these customers achieve operational reliability, resiliency, and scalability. Depending on customer needs, they may work closely with Media Specialist Solutions Architecture or AWS Professional Services teams, with the M-EAE focusing on operational success. The M-EAE becomes a primary technical resource for AWS Support during production operation of these media workflows. While a M-EAE is not expected to develop software, a software development background is valuable in helping understand complex customer needs and drive software solutions. Most importantly, M-EAEs recognize that long-term customer success depends on proactive domain-focused guidance to ensure customer workflows are deployed following best practices that are associated with on-going support and operations delivered throughout the lifespan of the customer.
