Description

As a Software Development Manager (SDM), you will help build and manage services that drive and automate the mitigation of incident response across all Amazon Web Services (AWS). You will manage software development engineers, security engineers and program managers to develop innovative security solutions at an unprecedented scale. Our services protect the AWS cloud for all customers and preserves our customer’s trust in us. You will get to use the full power and breadth of AWS technologies to build services that empower our incident response team, protecting every single AWS customer from security threats.

We are seeking an innovative and thoughtful leader with an established background in delivering scalable solutions. You have strong technical skills, excellent project management skills, great communication skills, and motivation to achieve results for your customers. You are a leader who prioritizes systematically, communicates clearly and compellingly, and fosters a growth mentality and delivery excellence within your team.

As a security leader, you will (a) lead by example, innovate and solve security challenges at a massive scale, (b) orchestrate strategy and direction, roadmap planning, and project execution scheduling, (c) hire, build and manage a cross-functional engineering team, and (d) foster strong team culture.

We understand that life is dynamic and we have a flexible work environment that enables individuals to adjust their work schedule to accommodate personal needs. Our team is distributed, though most of the team is located in Virginia. We generally keep core business hours of 9:30 EST - 4:30EST, while allowing flexibility as needed. At AWS Security, it’s not about clocking hours, it’s about delivering results.

On-Call Responsibility

This position involves on-call escalation responsibilities. We don’t 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 don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
