Software Development Manager, Network Capacity Services

Description du poste:

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of the world's largest and most advanced cloud network. The Network Lifecycle Management (NLM) organization builds the software that underpins the entire lifecycle of this network - from initial capacity planning and hardware deployment, to decommissioning and replacement.
We tackle engineering challenges at a scale few organizations ever encounter: Automating the deployment of thousands of network devices across 30+ geographic regions, orchestrating real-time configuration changes without customer impact, and building intelligent systems that predict and respond to demand before it materializes.
Our work is critical - when we get it right, hundreds of millions of active customers and millions of developers around the world experience the seamless, reliable connectivity they expect from AWS.

We are looking for an experienced Software Development Manager to lead a team of engineers within AWS Network Lifecycle Management. You will own the end-to-end delivery of software systems that automate the management and reservation of network resources across all AWS networks. These services are vital to the efficient planning and delivery of new network capacity, supporting the unprecedented growth in demand from both traditional and AI/ML workloads.
You will lead a team of highly motivated software developers who thrive on solving complex problems with innovative solutions. You'll collaborate across AWS to deliver the highest standards for reliability and efficiency while scaling to meet customer demand at the lowest possible cost. And you'll be part of an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
If you thrive in ambiguity, are motivated by massive scale, and want to build software that keeps the backbone of the cloud running - this is your team.
