Job Description

Are you interested in leading a team of software engineers tasked with building new AWS services that intersect cloud computing, Big Data, mobile applications, and digital user engagement? Do you enjoy the challenge of managing a high performing software engineering team? Do you obsess over details in order to improve the customer experience? Do you want to make an impact at a global scale? If this piqued your interest, you should join our team!

What you will do here

You will manage a team of software engineers to build next generation cloud technologies that leverage big data and machine learning to improve user engagement with mobile apps and web applications.

In this role you will:

* Influence the team to have a test-first mentality to prevent issues from affecting customers. You understand the nuances and challenges with cross-platform development.
* Operate at a high level and know when to dive deep. Perform peer code-reviews, write technical design documents, as well as lead and participate in technical design discussions.
* Work in a team environment to collaborate and strive for consensus by making data-driven decisions.
* Own the project from start to finish. Operate in an Agile/Kanban environment to continuously deliver high quality software, while consistently hitting immutable project delivery dates.
