Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is looking for a Software Development Manager to own and grow the team supporting EC2's Domain Name System (DNS) services, network proxy systems, and dependency-validation infrastructure within the EC2 Control Plane. These services underpin all of EC2 and many other AWS offerings, meaning your work directly affects availability and recovery for millions of customers. You will provide technical direction to a team of engineers as they refine, optimize, and expand these systems to meet continual growth in scale and feature demand. If you are excited by the challenge of operating critical infrastructure where security and availability are paramount, this is your opportunity., Lead a team of software engineers building and operating DNS, network proxy, and dependency-validation services that support all of EC2, including hiring, coaching, and growing team members. Provide technical direction on system design decisions involving networking protocols, Rust, Java, and HTTP-based multi-tier services, ensuring reliability and performance at scale. Translate complex functional and technical requirements into detailed plans and development strategies, managing day-to-day execution while keeping the team aligned to a long-term roadmap. Drive operational excellence across the DevOps lifecycle-design, automation, monitoring, and testing-raising the bar for service availability and security. Partner with senior leadership and product and program management teams to prioritize work, resolve competing demands, and deliver results that keep pace with EC2's growth. A day in the life You might start by reviewing DNS query-latency dashboards and proxy error rates, then join a design discussion where your team is evaluating a Rust-based component to replace a legacy Java service. After a 1:1 focused on an engineer's development plan, you meet with partner teams to align on an upcoming dependency-validation rollout. Between operational reviews and strategic planning sessions, you ensure your engineers have clear priorities and the support they need to ship reliable infrastructure. About the team We are part of the EC2 Control Plane organization, responsible for networking infrastructure that powers all of EC2 and many AWS services. Our systems handle DNS resolution, network proxying, and service-dependency validation that enables EC2 to recover from failures and maintain static stability. As EC2 continues to grow, we are scaling our services and investing in security and availability improvements. We value technical depth, collaborative problem-solving, and an inclusive culture where engineers are encouraged to innovate. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
