Software Development Manager, AWS Hardware Engineering Services

Software Development Manager, AWS Hardware Engineering Services

Job ID: 2797439 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

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.

The AWS Component Software and Services team designs, develops, and operates the services and software used to operate our hardware infrastructure across the entire AWS server fleet. Consequently, we own some of the most sophisticated software anywhere, including hardware integrity validation, performance benchmarking, hardware system monitoring, diagnostics tools, and health metrics for hardware.

We are looking for a seasoned Software Development Manager to lead a team that builds and operates the services, infrastructure, software, and tools to build, track, and operate all the hardware across the AWS server fleet. You will lead a team of world-class software developers who thrive on creating innovative, scalable solutions for real-world infrastructure business problems. You will lead development efforts to build, validate, and support server performance monitoring services, automated firmware deployment systems, services for monitoring hardware health, and automation for our thermal/mechanical test infrastructures spanning all AWS servers using large-scale distributed software systems, built with proprietary and open-source technologies.

The ideal candidate for this role will be an innovative, hands-on leader seasoned in building and leading software teams developing infrastructure software tools used for ensuring our hardware meets the highest possible quality bar.

As a leader, you will set the direction for a team of highly motivated software developers that thrives on solving challenging problems with innovative solutions. The team couples deep knowledge of the software stack operating within a cloud environment, software development skills set, and scalable software engineering techniques to solve real-world infrastructure problems.

You will lead new feature development efforts from concept to launch and beyond. You will establish strategic vision and drive execution in defining and delivering new products and services. This is a fast-paced position where you will be challenged to think on your feet. You’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. AWS Engineers are shaping the way people use computers and designing the future of cloud.

Why it matters: Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the overall IT services market and will continue to do so for several years to come. The scale of AWS, combined with an understanding of how our hardware is used, creates a unique opportunity for customization that will directly benefit our customers.

Why you will love it: You will work with teams across the company to enable the rapid development of next-generation devices. You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and the ability to deliver improvements for our developers. You will lead part of a growing, fast-paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work. You will see direct product improvements based on the results of your work. Along the way, we guarantee that you’ll learn a ton, have fun, and make a positive impact on millions of people.
