I have expert-level knowledge and experience in a certain domain. I have very little to some level of generic AWS knowledge. Can I apply for AWS? Will I get training to come up to speed on AWS? Or I need to do some AWS certs before applying?

For the most part almost everyone I know that has applied and been accepted at AWS had AWS certs

What domains? Certs are nice to have but not critical to getting a job at AWS.

What roles are you looking at?

I'd recommend getting an SA cert at least. If you have expert level knowledge it should be easy to get. Then you at least have general knowledge of AWS and can ask for AWS to pay for the rest of the certs
