Software Development Manager, AWS Core Networking

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 is seeking an experienced, results-oriented, Software Development Manager. What do we do here? 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. Why do we do that? 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. Why now? As we expand the reach of our algorithms and services, we need to scale to two teams. We are looking for a talented software development manager that wants to get experience with Software Defined Networking (SDN), hyper scale data center networks, cloud infrastructure, large-scale software deployments, algorithms and SOA. How do we operate? 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 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 - Own the software strategy and technical roadmap for MONA — the in-house controllers, SDN, planning software, and out-of-band systems behind a 1M+ device network. - Work backwards from internal customers; build and track the business metrics by which the team improves customer impact. - Plan, develop, deploy, and operate the software that configures the network, plans new data centers (capacity, racks, ports), and automatically remediates network issues. - Recruit, coach, and mentor senior and junior software engineers; build a team known for technical depth and operational excellence. - Partner with adjacent development teams, network engineering, and leadership to build state-of-the-art solutions and incorporate new technologies and algorithms. - Set quality standards and build mechanisms for team efficiency, continuously inventing and simplifying. - Own operational excellence and live-site health for services the network organization depends on. A day in the life You spend your day multiplying the team: unblocking an engineer on a controller design, shaping the roadmap for how we plan the next wave of AI data centers, and reviewing the metrics that show whether our auto-remediation is actually reducing operator toil. You will interview and hire, coach an engineer
