Description
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help. You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.The AWS Data Center Engineering - BIM & AI Technologies team is seeking an experienced Software Development Manager to lead a team building innovative AI-powered design automation solutions for AWS's global data center infrastructure. You will manage a team of software engineers who are transforming how data center design documentation is created, validated, and delivered at scale.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents the digital transformation of the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. Your team will develop production-grade AI systems that automate design tasks in BIM environments, ensure compliance with building codes and design standards, and accelerate facility design workflows. This role requires both deep technical leadership and the ability to bridge software engineering with domain expertise in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Ownership) industry.
You will define the technical vision and roadmap for AI-native design automation, balancing innovation with practical implementation while ensuring alignment with broader organizational goals. This is a greenfield opportunity to build systems that will fundamentally change how Amazon designs and delivers data center facilities worldwide.

- Lead the productionization of ML models developed by applied scientists, collaborating closely with your engineering team to deploy models that maintain appropriate confidence levels and human-in-the-loop controls for professional engineering workflows
- Build relationships with software development managers, engineers, product managers, and technical program managers across upstream and downstream teams to influence product development and drive adoption of AI-powered design tools
- Create mechanisms to evaluate automation performance, and implementing frameworks for continuous improvement
- Oversee resource allocation to ensure appropriate business and staff development goals are met while delivering robust and scalable solutions
