Software Development Manager, Global Demand and Operations

Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) Global Demand and Operations team is looking for a technically-skilled Software Development Manager to join our fast-paced team. In this role, you will lead a team of talented engineers working on highly visible projects.

You will be responsible for scoping and delivering large projects end to end. Responsibilities include managing the day-to-day execution of software deliverables, guiding and mentoring software developers, driving project schedules from design to release, and managing the production launch. You will lead and coordinate technical design/implementation efforts across multiple teams to develop optimal solutions.

The right candidate will possess a strong technical leadership background and will have demonstrated experience leading medium to large projects. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment with a high degree of ambiguity, relish the idea of solving problems, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are not only able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives, but can also roll up your sleeves, dig in and get the job done. Along the way, you will learn a lot, have fun, and make a positive impact on what is often one of the first impressions of AWS by customers.

As a Software Development Manager, you find clear paths through roadblocks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints.
