Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Are you interested in building network visibility, and monitoring products for use cases spanning network security, anomaly detection, operational visibility and diagnostics? Does solving technical challenges at hyper-scale excite you?

The AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is looking for a leader who can own and grow a business. This individual will have a very strong technical background, and are fearless when it comes to charting new technical frontiers. The ability to operate at both the business level with senior leadership and product management, and, at the deepest technical level to solve hard technical challenges, are key for a successful candidate.

The AWS business requires creative engineering and a strong customer focus, and you will work with your team and senior leadership to develop and launch high quality services.

Responsibilities include:
Direct management of the software engineering team.
Strategic planning and execution to provide advanced functionality while maintaining the highest operational bar for your service.
Acting as an experienced leader who understands and sets a high bar for all parts of the integration lifecycle, including design, documentation, testing and operations.
As a leader you will:
Work with product managers to refine customer requirements.
Bring innovative ideas to the table every day, in order to find better ways of accomplishing our customer objectives.
Set clear and measurable goals for the team and team members.
Mentor and promote your team members.

Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazons culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isnt about how many hours you spend at home or at work; its about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We dont like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we dont get paged for the same issue twice.

Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and were building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
