Sr Software Dev Manager Amazon
Herndon, VA

Job Description

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is storage for the Internet. Through the use of pioneering techniques in distributed computing, developers can durably store their data on AWS's proven computing infrastructure to achieve virtually limitless storage capacity at minimal cost. Amazon S3 provides simple APIs that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. While the emerging area of cloud computing has seen tremendous growth over the past few years, we are still in the early stages of realizing its full potential.

S3 Storage Engine is looking for a Senior Software Development Manager to lead a team for an area of strategic importance and significant impact and grow the organization in Herndon. We are custodians of all of S3's customer data and have full control of how that data is accessed, stored, kept durable and highly available. In this role, you will drive the design and implementation of services and tools that automate operating S3's storage fleet, troubleshoot difficult systems and hardware problems and drive projects across multiple teams across the rest of AWS. You will define, plan and execute on projects that take S3's storage eco-system to the next level. You will partner with senior technical leaders and with other teams in S3 and AWS to deliver these capabilities at S3 scale.

The right candidate must be able to dive deep into engineering, operations and business details. You'll need to excel at hiring and developing both technical and leadership talent. S3 Storage operates at large scale and stores critical data for customers world-wide, so a passion and discipline around operational excellence is key. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, 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. Come work hard and make history with Amazon S3.
