Description

Are you interested in building and influencing open-source monitoring and observability? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is home to massive technologies that fuel hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. This is a unique opportunity to come in on the ground floor and define the direction of a strategic product features and influence the open source community from initial design to GA and beyond.

We are looking for a senior software development manager to lead the teams of engineers deliver observability services (granular insights into metrics, traces, and logs). Is that you? How can you tell? Well, you are passionate about producing innovative products for real-time data streaming and analysis in an Agile environment. You also love giving customers what they want: high quality, highly usable, always-on services. You're happiest when you're leading empowered, world-class managers and engineers to meet world-class challenges. You are passionate about growing your team to meet new challenges. In this role, you will be positioning AWS as a thought leader in related open-source projects by collaborating and influencing the open source community and contributing to open source projects. The successful candidate will be able to deal with ambiguity and will need to think big!

AWS has a fast-paced environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History”. On a typical day, our software engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer issue, release the latest new feature, consult with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to building and operating at scale. You'll be surrounded by people who are incredibly smart, passionate about observability, and believe that we are only scratching the surface of what AWS can really do to help developers, DevOps engineers, and business owners everywhere.

This is a unique opportunity to grow a new AWS service. In this role, you will hire and develop teams of talented engineers to build modern observability solutions. You will be positioning AWS as a thought leader in related projects by collaborating and engaging closely with the community, working with, and contributing to projects such as Prometheus, Cortex, and Thanos. You will establish and execute a roadmap of highly available and scalable solutions to customer problems.

The candidate is a leader who can prioritize well, communicate clearly, and compellingly and who understands how to drive a high level of focus and excellence with a strong team. AWS in general, and this business in particular, operates at very large scale and on critical workloads, so a passion and discipline around operational excellence is key. A high level of ownership and accountability is a must.
