About Ken Maier
I manage engineering teams at AWS that ship cloud infrastructure and services used by customers worldwide.Over 20 years I\'ve built and scaled teams across cloud, SaaS, and platform engineering — from founding-stage startups to organizations serving millions of accounts. What stays consistent: I hire strong engineers, build the conditions for them to grow, and get software into production.At AWS I lead a team of engineers across the full delivery lifecycle — roadmap to release. Before AWS I spent nearly a decade as VP of Technology/CTO at a fintech SaaS company, where I grew the engineering org from zero and oversaw a platform processing $1B+ in annual loan transactions.If you\'re looking for an engineering leader who can operate at the Director or Senior EM level — with deep cloud experience, proven team development, and a track record of delivery at scale — let\'s connect.
