You will inherit a mature team and lead them through the next phase: sustaining critical Tier-1 services while advancing AI-integration readiness across the portfolio. You will operate primarily within AWS GovCloud and partner daily with Amazon Leo Security, Global Trade & Compliance, and teams across Production Operations., Lead, grow, and develop a team of systems development engineers; own hiring, performance, and career growth. Own the operational health, reliability, and security of ALPINE's Tier-1 service portfolio across commercial and GovCloud environments. Set technical and operational strategy across the portfolio; partner with the Sr. Engineers to steer architecture and roadmap. Uphold export-control compliance (ITAR/CUI) across all services, in partnership with Global Trade & Compliance and Leo Security. Drive AI-integration readiness; enabling AI agents to interact safely with ALPINE services within user permission boundaries. Represent ALPINE in cross-org forums (Production Operations, Security, Compliance, LeoLX); manage stakeholder relationships and escalations. Own operational excellence: OnCall leadership, incident response, runbooks, monitoring, and change management. Balance sustaining critical production services with advancing platform modernization and automation. Set and communicate priorities, remove blockers, and shield the team so engineers can do their best work. A day in the life Your day balances people and portfolio. You start with the ALPINE operational picture: overnight alarms, OnCall health, and any escalations that need your attention. You spend focused time with your engineers: 1:1s on growth and direction, unblocking a stalled dependency, or coaching through a tricky design decision. Mid-day you might represent ALPINE in a cross-org review like aligning on a shared roadmap, or briefing leadership on service health. In the afternoon you set strategy: shaping the portfolio's AI-integration direction with the Sr. Engineers, planning headcount, or driving an operational improvement. Throughout, you shield the team from organizational noise so they can keep Tier-1 services healthy and build what comes ne About the team ALPINE owns and operates the core engineering infrastructure for Amazon Leo's 7,000+ workforce - Jira, Confluence, SAP ERP & MES, engineering test platforms, requirements management, and a license server fleet, much of it in AWS GovCloud under ITAR/CUI constraints. At the center is the "Jedi Council," a group of senior engineers who collectively own technical direction and operational health. This is an established, high-performing team. You will take the helm - not build from scratch - and lead them through both sustained Tier-1 operations and the organization's AI-forward transformation. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Fireside Chat with Werner Vogels, VP & CTO, Amazon.com & Daniel Gebler, CTO at Picnic](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1405-fireside-chat-with-werner-vogels-vp-cto-amazon-com-daniel-gebler-cto-at-picnic) - [Building Systems that Last](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1389-building-systems-that-last) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [The Best Software Developer Blogs to Read](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/156-the-best-software-developer-blogs-to-read) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
