Are you passionate about delivering high-quality services and ready to apply your experience at massive scale? Amazon Web Services' Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, is one of the largest distributed storage systems in the world. We host trillions of objects and serve hundreds of millions of requests per second and we're continuing to grow! We are looking for a passionate Software Development Manager to lead a team responsible for the S3 Index's request routing systems. The S3 Index maintains the metadata for the objects stored in S3. We tackle some of the hardest computer science problems. We build systems that can handle wildly varying access patterns and unprecedented load by our customers. As the leader of this team, you will be tackling complex challenges in supporting new features, performance optimization, and system decoupling, ensuring that S3 continues to deliver exceptional reliability and performance at massive scale. In this role, you will: * Lead a team of talented software engineers, fostering their growth and development while delivering critical components of S3's architecture * Drive the technical roadmap for S3 Index's request routing * Invent new ways to ensure correctness and optimize performance data flows through the S3 object Request Plane * Enable end-to-end data integrity and performance optimizations across S3 Request Plane, Index, and Storage systems * Protect against coupling between systems in accessing S3 objects to meet organizational needs * Ensure operational excellence through metrics, monitoring, and continuous improvement You'll partner with senior leaders and peer teams across S3 including Index, Object APIs, and Storage to set direction, align priorities, and continuously improve our systems and deliver exceptional customer experiences. A successful candidate will feel strongly not only about building good software but about building great teams. The ideal candidate will be able to lead in resource-constrained and performance-sensitive areas, with relentlessly high standards. This role is technical: you'll be expected to contribute to architecture discussions while regularly taking part in deep-dive troubleshooting exercises or technical post-mortem discussions to identify the root cause of complex issues. A strong understanding of distributed systems and experience operating services at scale is a plus.
