About the team
AWS CloudFormation is the foundational Infrastructure as Code (IaC) service from AWS, enabling millions of customers to model, provision, and manage their cloud resources through templates. Our team owns the frontend public API layer, template and operation validations, deployment safety rules, and third-party (3P) hooks — the critical layers between the customer and the CloudFormation engine. We are the first line of defense for customer experience: catching errors early, enforcing deployment guardrails, and empowering customers to extend CloudFormation with custom validation and compliance logic. We are customer-obsessed builders who hold ourselves to the highest bar for availability, correctness, and security.
