Sr Software Development Manager, AWS Network Engineering

Software Development Manager

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help. You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) runs one of the largest networks in the world. We are putting services and algorithms in place to control the traffic flow across the different fabrics of the Amazon network, taking static topological information as well as real-time network inputs into account.

In Amazon, we are always customer obsessed. By responding fast to network changes like scaling, maintenance, failure, security and other types of events, we lower the cost and overhead for customers, while driving up performance, availability and reliability.

We empower people to take ownership of their realm and make a difference. We work backwards from customer needs, gather requirements, diving deep to choose technologies, designing features and spinning new services, deploying software across the globe and maintaining services. In AWS, we are nimble and agile, like being part of a startup, innovating while collaborating with a smart group of people around you. We are thrilled about software and we are changing the landscape of networking. We operate on an unimaginable scale. We push the boundaries in robustness, fault-tolerance and smart adaptive algorithms that can react intelligently to real-world events.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Work backwards from customer needs, build and track business metrics by which the team works to improve customer impact.
• Plan, develop, deploy and maintain telemetry service to collect high granularity metrics for highly scaled networks, that use both SDN and traditional routing/switching solutions. Provide insights using the metrics to improve availability, observability and debug-ability.
• Recruit, coach and mentor senior and junior software engineers.
• Work with management, customers and adjacent development teams to build state of the art solutions, incorporate new technologies, and algorithms.
• Set quality standards, build mechanisms and processes for team efficiency, continuously inventing and simplifying.

About The Team

Who are we? We are a highly motivated team of software developers, and applied scientists who thrive on solving challenging problems and building large-scale distributed software systems.

Who are we looking for? A smart, talented and seasoned manager. You do not need to have networking background up front. Join us if you like working hard, having fun and making history. We do just that.
